Version: Yahoo Toolbar with Anti-Spy 5.5.5
"Good"
Pros: So, a popup blocker, and search engine, and anti-spy all rolled into one! I like it...
Fast spyware scan too, and good popup blocking.
Overall, good download, extra line of defense
Cons: Only 4 out of 5, because though it seems great, I'm wondering why it picked up 2 pieces of spyware while none of my other 7 spyware scanners, including webroot spy sweeper, spyware doctor, ad-aware, and spybot found nothing.
Wonder why...

Basically, things that those reputable anti-spyware software miss are cookies and some history files, not really a serious issue of spyware..

I too picked up a spyware that neither Spy Sweeper nor Lavasoft Ad-Aware noticed. What is going on? Is Yahoo anti-spy so superb that it picks up what premier spy removal programs miss?
