HiGlobal,

Be very very cautious at that site.
I only had to see the first page to find a suspicious download.
This tells me that this is not a good source for clean freeware.

They list Spyware Nuker
See what SpywareWarrior's Rogue list has to say about the website
behind that program.
The list: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

The site hosting Spyware Nuker is spyware.pcwash.com

Just do an in page search for that.


Have fun!

Thanks for the "headsup", will delete url..

Also found on the site you say discredits the Spyware Nuker under
delisted applications..


Note on SpywareNuker & pcOrion: Spyware Nuker and pcOrion are
re-branded clones of one another; both are distributed by
TrekBlue/TrekData. Spyware Nuker and pcOrion were listed on this page on
this page primarily because of issues surrounding Version 1 of Spyware
Nuker, because of TrekBlue's murky relationship with the adware
distributor BlueHaven Media, and because of objectionable advertising
that used to appear on the pcOrion home page.
Version 1 of Spyware Nuker had a deservedly poor reputation. It was a
clone of BPS Spyware & Adware Remover, which itself is a rip-off of
Ad-aware (1, 2) and Spybot Search & Destroy (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Moreover,
it was prone to ridiculous false positives, like the other clones of BPS
Spyware & Adware Remover. (Contrary to allegations on the Net, no
version of SpywareNuker or pcOrion, so far as we can tell, has itself
installed adware or spyware.)

In the late spring or early summer of 2004, TrekBlue released a new
version of SpywareNuker (version 2, also known as SpywareNuker 2004)
which is not built on the codebase licensed from BPS (1). Testing with
this new version -- also released under the name pcOrion -- indicates
that it does detect and remove spyware and adware. Moreover it is not
prone to inexcusable false positives, as its predecessor was. Thus, the
new SpywareNuker 2004 is a significant improvement on the justly
discredited original version of SpywareNuker. Still further, the
objectionable advertising on the pcOrion home page has been removed, and
TrekBlue/TrekData has taken steps to clarify the history of its
relationship with BlueHaven, which is no longer a TrekBlue/TrekData
company. (1, 2)

Given that the issues surrounding Spyware Nuker and pcOrion have been
addressed by the TrekBlue/TrekData, we can no longer consider Spyware
Nuker or pcOrion to be "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware.

Thank you for the clarification Bismark. You may have noticed that I
didn't say anything bad about SpywareNuker. I merely found it
suspicious and advised caution.
