Anyone got any experience of this - in terms of effectiveness, comparison to
others such as Super AntiSpyware etc?

I think you will find SUPERAntiSpyware picks up things CounterSpy
misses and CounterSpy will pick up things SUPERAntiSpyware will miss -
simple reality in the spyware game.

Well I think that's the most honest response I could ever have expected
Nick. No sales talk, no bull ***, no ridiculing the competition - I think
you just gained a convert.

It's just the reality of the spyware game/landscape - no product, ever,
will be able to get everything on a given day - so the idea is to run
multiple layers - SUPERAntiSpyware is designed to co-exist with
existing security applications for that reason.

That's kind of an expensive avenue to take though. Wonder how much spyware
is put on the net by entities that have a vested intertest in selling anti
spyware progs.Same with virii. Not accusing you of doing this but it makes
one wonder where all the spyware is actually coming from.

It's not the anti-malware/anti-spyware vendors fault they can't get
ahold of every sample on every single day - you would not believe the
number of samples we, and other vendors, receive on a daily basis -
thousands and thousands of samples.
You wonder where the spyware is coming from - bottom line - companies
such as Dollar Revenue pay big bucks per install:
USA $ 0.30
Canada $ 0.20
United Kingdom $ 0.10
The spyware market is probably more lucrative for many companies than
the anti-spyware market - if we were writing the spyware, don't you
think we could remove all of it?
If users were not surfing Porn, Stealing Software (Warez/Cracks),
Stealing Music/Videos (p2p) - the whole problem would not be so great.
If people were willing to pay for software and services on the web,
there would be no market for the spyware vendors - they spyware targets
"free" because users just can't keep away.....users are the ones in
control of changing the spyware game - the anti-malware vendors are
here to clean up the mess...

Nah, I surf porn using the power of Linux.
I think they are open with there spyware definitions:
http://research.sunbelt-software.com/
From a lot of companies you don't see anything.
Also when I have found spyware which I send it to Counterspy and they
added it to there definitions.
It found trojans and deleted them where anti-virus didn't find
anything.
I agree with Nick Skrepetos that you need (probably) 2 different
anti-spaywares.
