Web Ware: SpywareNO is a trap, say experts.

SpywareNO was deamed to be another software package with integrated firwall, and spyware removal tool for the average Joe having problems with the stuff. What the website doesnt tell you is the software is laced with spyware and is one of the new breed of rogue anti-spyware software runs.

Quote:


	The company behind the new tool claims that it is the victim of unscrupulous online advertisers who bundle the product with noxious wares. But at least one spyware expert says the new application is just the latest example of so-called "rogue anti-spyware" programs that exploit user naivetÃƒÂ© and frustration with spyware. SpywareNo is advertised as a desktop security software suite, with integrated firewall, application security and intrusion detection features, according to spywareno.com, the program's official Web site.
