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?

[md usa spybot fan]

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 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
• SpyFerret
• SpyDestroy
• SpyContra
• AdwarePro
• AdwarePunisher - Adware Punisher
• AdwareNuker
• AdWhere
• KillSpy
• MalWhere
• ScanSpyware
• SafeAndClean
• SpyPry
• SpywareKilla - Scam.SpywareKilla
• Spyinator

I use this program for one year. The program is very good.

An extremely important part of the above was left off:

For detailed information, please see HERE.
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.
