    File Research Center..

    When my SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition was done with the scan, on the
    lower left side I see a place to "Find out what's running on your
    computer!" which leads me to the following web page:

    http://www.fileresearchcenter.com/wh...ningpreff.html

    Which tells me: "The File Research Center provides this free service
    that will show you what is running on your computer. This will match the
    files running against our extensive database of files and show you both
    safe and unsafe processes and files. Any files that are not identified
    are submitted to our technicians to analyze and potentially add to our
    database."

    But it also says:

    "To identify what is running on your computer, we must install an
    FileResearchCenter.com/SuperAdBlocker.com native plugin that contains no
    spyware, adware or any other malicious or harmful software.

    I already use the Scunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) 2.0, so do I
    really need another such program?

    The SAS client is not the same as Secunia PSI.

    Secunia PSI is a personal Informnation Assurance vulnerability assesment
    scanner.

    The SAS/SuperAdBlocker is a utility to upload suspicious/malicious samples
    for evaluation and/or addition to SAS signaturres.

    They make it sound like it's more of a "scanner"? "This will match the
    files running against our extensive database of files and show you both
    safe and unsafe processes and files."

    Thanks for clearing it up.
