Greetings,

Recently I've scheduled a scan task on a few computers. The scan was configured with the options "Find Joke Programs" in the Advanced tab of the task. I dont have Anti-Spyware installed on any computer.

When the task finished I got a lot of Spyware being detected & deleted. (for example; Adware-HotBar).

I wasn't expecting for these type of files to be detected... but if the "Find Joke Problems" enable spywware detection, like it did, what's de difference with the Anti-Spyware module?

Best Regards!
