Righto.
BTW, is there anyone else here who thinks that Spyware Nuker and other such "rogue" programs are fraudulent?

When I first saw this thread's title, I thought it was "Spyware Puker". ;D Sounds like that may be a more fitting name!

Spyware Nuker is legit and it was removed from rogue list.
You can stick with 'official' Adaware or Spybot s&d or you can puke, but if you want your PC to be in a good shape you should try Spyware Nuker.

I installed spyware nuker 3 days ago- WOW I thought!!! It found 213 items in the registry-2 were hotbar and the rest were wtvis ( i think that it is related to wild tangent)- Well, I couldve manually deleted them but decided to leave be til I got more opinions. I did my normal adaware scan yesterday and guess what it found in the registry and other places.Spyware Nuker. I did a little reading just now and learned this:

Well its gone from my system. hope this helped

Well, SpywareNuker is still on the rogue list, but it does have that little note attach though( as said in post#11)
Personally, i wouldn't use it. ;)

Snowbound:
Let me clarify: SpywareNuker is NOT on the rogue list. The note clearly states:
-{ Quote: "Given that the issues surrounding Spyware Nuker and pcOrion have been addressed by the TrekBlue/TrekData, we can no longer consider Spyware Nuker or pcOrion to be "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware. " }-
There is an entry in the list to point to the note. That entry still exists to point to the note, because if I didn't list it someplace then I'd get email asking me about it. But SpywareNuker is not listed on that page as a rogue/suspect application.
Best,
Eric L. Howes

Yes, thanks Eric. I should have clarified it as an entry and not one being on the rogue list. Just wanted to point towards the note attached.
Sorry for the confusion.

**edit**: i guess its safe to have it installed then since its not on the list anymore? thanks for the help!

I actually tested Xoftspy myself once and it "found" many things that I was able to confirm were not on my PC. It "found" the exact same entries on another of my PCs. This is what I call scare tactics. I wouldn't touch the nuker with a ten foot pole either - but the decision is yours. If it used to be rogue (which it was) then why bother with it now when there are other much more reputable choices?
