never seen it before i am cautious to these programmes as a lot of them create more spyware /adware than the programme is supposed to stop,
an up to date xp /anti virus /ad aware and spybot search and destroy should be all you need

I would imagine suspicious meaning someplace you dont frequent all the time, and know what your d/loading, or agreeing to, or accepting. ie: alot of
sites require some kinda crap to be agreed to, or accepted to even view, if this is the case, it will probably leave spyware on the rig somewhere.

Yep like DL says, and underground stuff, warez, crks, [Censored], hacking, virus.
Bottom line, unless u have several layers of protection
1/firewall confured correct,
2/virus scanner, a good one and fully updated...plus cleaning patches
2/spyware, spybot adware
3/hyjack detect and cleaning patches hyjackthis and shredder
Plus have a good basic idea on how they work and how the patches work...
DONT go to suspicious sights...
Personally I like them....the # of machines I get in to clean up is all money :D
1/ They dont know their way thru patches and reg files
2/ they have tried and screwed up the machine.
