Hello DomGro.

RegFreeze: Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products & Web Sites (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#notes)
aggressive advertising, desktop hijacks (1, 2, 3); false positives work as goad to purchase (1); dubious corp associations (1) [A: 8-8-04 / U: 12-24-05]

EverestPoker: Spybot-S&D detects as PUPS (Potentially Unwanted Programs)
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/updatehistory/2006-08-11.html

EverestPoker.com has been known to promote their installer with spam mails.
The subject in their mails is along the lines of " Important bill", "Legal department" etc. and so misleads and fools the user.

Hope that helps. :)
