SpyDefense

[rosed1]

SpyDefense is a spyware, adware and malware scanner that inspects your
file system, registry and memory for any present threats. It offers 3
different scan modes, including a custom scan option as well as
Real-Time protection that can alert you when any malware is about to be
installed and optionally block the installation. Other features include
a scheduled scan option, automatic updates and scan history report. The
program detected several false positives during our review, and would
have removed Norton anti-virus signature files since it considered them
to be of Trojan nature. SpyDefense is still in beta testing. It offers
a promising array of features but so far lacks reliable detection and
is not recommended as a primary choice of
protection.(((http://www.snapfiles.com/get/spydefense.html

Snapfiles doesn't rate this program very highly (2.5 out of 5). The
homepage is here:

The user reviews seem favorable, but I don't know what kind of mechanism
is in place to prevent padding.

I don't reply to trolls like Andy Mabbett or Doc (who uses sock puppets)
for instance. No adware, cdware, commercial software, crippleware,
demoware, nagware, PROmotionware, shareware, spyware, time-limited
software, trialware, viruses or warez for me, please.

There are still some of us, myself being one, that still use Win98SE.
Since this application is not made for Win98SE, I thought it nice to
let those users know about it. No malice intended.
