    Default AdwareSpy

    AdwareSpy is known as a rogue anti-spyware (1)(2).
    AdwareSpy is also known as AdDriller, 2004 Adware/Spyware Remover & Blocker, ADS Adware Remover, AdWare SpyWare Blocker & Removal, AdwareX Eliminator, Ad-Where 2005, ETD Security Scanner, Privacy Tools 2004, SpyBeware, Spy-Kill, & The Web Shield.
    When you scan your system with that tool, among the false positive detections, it detects a Spybot SD as a spyware. It suggests of course to "fix" that "problem".
    It finds a registry entry using a link to that url: http://spybot.eon.net.au/en/index.html.
    (actually, that link does not exist in the registry).
    I visited that page, and it is exactly the same page as the one from http://www.safer-networking.org but I was wondering if s.o. know if it's only a DNS redirector or a fake site. Otherwise what would be the way to verify that?
    Thanks,

    Hello John,

    http://spybot.eon.net.au/en/index.html is not a fake site. It is a mirror for safer-networking.org. We will check AdwareSpy and if needed we will add it to our detection.
