I consider this a "must have".

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.

Hmm this one is new to me. Any comments on this?

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.
