Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products & Web Sites:
From the Spywarewarrior.com rogue_anti-spyware page:
"Some of the products listed on this page simply do not provide proven, reliable anti-spyware protection or may be
prone to ridiculous false positives. Others may use unfair, deceptive, high pressure sales tactics to scare up sales
from gullible, confused users. A very few of these products are either associated with known distributors of spyware/adware
or have been known to install spyware/adware themselves."
