    swanlee: again, you've perfectly shown that you like listening to your own voice and how able to block other peoples arguments you are!

    Yes, it is malware! I'll tell you a third, and last time: simply RTFM! Read what Spybot tells you why!

    Quoting Spybot:
    SpyHunter claims to be an antivirus solution. If it is installed on the computer it detects some spyware even if the computer is a totally clean machine. In order to fix these problems, the user needs to purchase a license.
    That is malicious behavior!

    And blocking the domain helps unexperienced users to avoid this trap. And if you want to question our blocking of their domains, please argue how exactly that behavior is marketing only and not malicious!

    Hi Tashi
    I tried that link but it is blocked by my Hosts file and my script blocker
    I would think that there must be a very good reason

    Lets also not talk about/ rely on the Spywarewarrior list of Rogue Products- It is not being maintained

    Did you see where that Spammer got out of Jail in Maryland?
    Do you think we should take him off the bad guy list?

    Generally when a link is not clickable, for whatever reason and there can be many, one is not being invited to 'try' it.

    1. Investigations of Spyhunter Version 3.9.25 of 18-03-2009 show,
    that the software does not comply with the ASCs
    (http://www.antispywarecoalition.org) definitions for
    classification as malware or spyware.

    2. Safer-Networking Ltd. will not give subsequent reviews of older
    versions of Spyhunter.

    3. Questions about data transfered to the web by Spyhunter should be
    addressed to Enigma.

    4. If you suspect Spyhunter (later than 3.9.25 of 18.03.2009) of
    complying with ASCs definitons for classification as malware,
    please send your information to detections@spybot.info
