    Still good, but I'm changing to Avira, due to better virus detection ;)

    on my gaming-leeching-try-out-freeware machine which i also use for surfing here and there (sometimes WOT can't stop me opening a site) i recently decided to scan the whole thing.
    congratulations said spybot, no threads found.
    eeeeek! said asquared, 447 threads found, over 10 of them calssified as viruses,
    the rest was malware, badware, adware madware.
    i know that this program is not perfect either and sometimes shows up false alarms. anyway i rate this "5"
    concerning spybot i am a bit confused now, as this one was one of my favourite tools in the past. hmmmm...
