Yes very interesting Trip, it is quite amazing just how many people are trying to make a buck out of the poor suckers that get infected with malware.

It is probably worth pointing out that the site also recommends some programs, essentially the ones I would use...

Recommended programs comparison

And once you are rid of spyware, I would recommend installing this software Javacools Spywareblaster

Keep it up to date and it will *block* in real time thousands of known threats from infecting your PC.

I wonder why Ewido was left off the list. It does a very good job getting rid of malware that Adaware, Spybot S&D, Pest Patrol, and some others leave behind. It's also very good killing any malware that lives in memory, which most anti-malware/spyware is not good at. It's not free, but it sure keeps systems free of junk.
