  Version: Trend Micro Anti-Spyware 3

  "Fast Scan - Thorough Protection"

  by webgrrrl on December 13, 2005

  Pros: I have an arsenal of antispyware apps, and so I thought my machine was clean.

  The Venus Spy Trap offers solid real time protection also, and it has already come in handy a few times.

  I have only been evaluating this for a week now, and so far I am very impressed. If it keeps it up I am going to buy it.

  Cons: The Spy Trap monitors can be a little heavy on CPU usage, but only for brief periods, and so I think it is worth it.

  The scanner/remover alone is worth the price anyway.

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!

  Hi Webgrrl ...

  Tried them all

  Webroot Spysweeper...

  Steganos(webroot clone)...

  Spyware doctor...

  PestPatrol...

  Mcafee...

  XoftSpy SE...

  Ad-aware...

  SpyBot...

  Spyware Nuker...

  kaspersky...

  SpywareGuard...

  CounterSpy...

  Aluria...

  SpyCleaner Gold..

  and many others (All Full Versions by the way)...

  And to my mind TrendMicro Antispyware seems the most honest with NO false positives, and true scanning. As Tina Turner said "Simply the best, Better than all the rest"

  Obviously you get paid to write positive reviews as well. The problem with you Webgrrrl is you think every software is spyware. Why don't you read the privacy policy of Google, Yahoo, and all the other major software vendors.

  You take privacy policies out of context for the smaller guys, you suggest that ever small software is spyware and in essence you hurt the small developers business.

  I would have some respect if you actually reviewed software (even though you get paid) and stopped pushing out propaganda on the same software over and over again. You getting paid to write false reviews is unethical and wrong.

  webgrrrl gets paid to write negative reviews by competitors, please disregard her reviews. Although some are true in most cases her reviews are biased and uninformed.

  webgrrrl in most cases has no technical experience, has not tested the software and simple spills out propaganda on her favorite software. As you will see she recommends the same software over and over again.
