I consider it the best "on demand" scanner among all the Freeware scanners.
The immunization feature is excellent too.

Among the resident scanners, I like MS Anti Spyware. It causes less lag than
the rest, and catches nearly everything.

Why don't you try it out and give us a review Aaron?

No, just kidding. I don't feel so good about it myself. I found 1 review,
and it was only a 1/5.

Anything with "tox" in the name sets off my alarm. The web page is pretty
mysterious too. The author has "FreewareWeb" and a "Freeware Guide" icons on
his site, yet a site search on the sites turn up nothing.

Been using it about 6 months , ran a google on it & a lot of freeware
sites are still offering.

Did'nt find anything nasty about it either.

I was actually more interested if it was useful, IE detected stuff above
and beyond the main 3 (main 2 if you exclude MSAS for win 98 people).

I could test it, but I have so more interesting things to test,
I just thought that software became somehow a must-have by concensus
of this group, while I wasn't looking.
