I ran a free scan of "Spyware Detector" from Max Secure. It listed a lot of low threat cookies but also a critical threat called spyware.bearshare. None ot the other spyware detectors I ran found this spyware and, when I searched on the web, I only found it mentioned on [URL="http://www.spywaredetector.net"]www.spywaredetector.net[/URL]. It is possible that the format of the name may not be standard. It may just be called Bearshare. Is this just a way of scaring people into buying the product or have they found a real threat that the other programs failed to find? Many thanks in advance, Peter.
