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 www.spywaredetector.net. 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.
