    Default Spyware Detector and MyWaySA

    I too am concerned about the findings of Spyware Detector which I tried this week. It identified MyWaySA as a high threat. I removed MyWay using the add/remove facility but Spyware Detector is still finding MyWaySA (high rating) and 9 related worms (medium rating).

    Myway programs are a minor annoyance

    Did you even look at the information posted ?

    Sorry wrong Information
    Spyware Detector not Spy Detector

    Correct information:
    Note on Spyware Detector: Spyware Detector was listed on this page because of concerns with false positives. Testing with the latest version of Spyware Detector indicates that the problems with earlier versions have been satisfactorily resolved. Thus, we can no longer consider Spyware Detector to be "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware.
