Malwhere installs spyware


Happened to visit the website of a free product that purports to scan your system for malware, spyware, etc. The website looks great, and there are many free products out there that are very useful to have. However, this one is actually what it claims to stop - spyware!

I discovered this through Microsoft's own AntiSpyware Beta program. As soon as Malwhere was installed I saw this warning on the right. Did a Google search and several forums are aware that this program bundles other known spyware programs with it. Don't be fooled into installing this program.
