Google hits on ‘spyware OR malware’ is now around 1,000,000 and is obviously on the minds of and of concern to many.

Accordingly, we have acquired many new scumware (FUD =fear, uncertainty and doubt) players and ad profiteers to beware of. Many use false positives to goad purchase of their product.


A large majority of ads for such products are featured on Google and other ‘trusted’ sites. How many times have you been tempted to ‘try out’ yet another ‘promising’ tool? You got to feel sorry for the newbees here. Even the experienced can trip them selves up here.
