Is Spycleaner ok to use?


heard it plants root kits. Not necessarily true but just want to clarify it

It's SpyCleaner2006 or whatever from cnet

Avoid it.

SpyCleaner is on the " Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products" list at they highly respected spywarewarrior.com:
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti...

Spyclean doesn't plant a rootkit, it opens a port(used for updates) and thats a big security risk. Spy bot also does this, other programs usually just open the port when updating spyclean(and spy bot s&d) have the port open the whole time the process is running.
