Beware Spyware!

Tread carefully.  The newest tactic deployed by spyware scammers is to
take
virus utilities, spyware utilities, and registry cleaning utilities and
embed their crap in these types of programs.  Let the downloader
beware.
If its free, there's as good a chance as not that it is infested.  Look
at
the links below (and others you find similar) first to see if the
program is
listed.  Ad-aware and Spy-bot are safe freeware spyware utilities.  A
new
edition of Ad-aware will be released in a few days.
