I use this program for one year.
I see the first post in their forum was March 22, 2006.
In fact their copywrite is also 2006, not 2005-2006
Who are they?

I don’t know how others feel, but I personally found the reports on www.malware-test.com very interesting and informative. The tests seem to be documented in such a way that they lend themselves to the various anti-Spyware applications taking corrective action (for those items tested) if they so choose.
It should be noted that the particular report that HAHAHA (http://forums.spybot.info/member.php?u=5618) documented which reported "Spybot S&D: 0.00%" was not for the removal of spyware but rather for the removal of the following rogue/fake anti-spyware products:
AdwarePatrol
AlertSpy
SpyDeface
SpyNoMore
SpywareThis
Spyware
Vanisher
SpywareHospital
SpySniper
SpyLax - Adware_DashPcCleaner - PassThisOn
SpySpotter - Freeloader_SpySpotter

I use this program for one year. The program is very good. :bigthumb:
An extremely important part of the above was left off:
For detailed information, please see HERE (http://www.malware-test.com/doc/Antispyware-Comparison-4th-round.zip).
Note that fourth round focuses on rogue/fake antispyware softwares.
Of the 20 or so rogue/fake antispyware tested, Spybot has several in Beta, a couple in PUPs and a couple are actually Adware. Others aren't targeted by Spybot S&D at all, so obviously the results would be low.
The 'HERE' in the above is a link to the PDF containing the testing methodology and other testing information. I suggest you read everything they offer before you believe the 'results' of a pointless test.
The fact that everyone else got low scores should be a warning flag that something is based on fallacy.
