I just downloaded the free (I thought) version of "SpyHunter", did a scan and it found about 100 "spies". When I clicked the "Remove" button it informed me that I must purchase the remove tool seperately! How rude!!

I then did a comparison scan using "Spybot - Search & Destroy" and it only found THREE "spies". "Spybot" allows you to remove "spies" after they are detected so I removed the ones it found.

My comment/question is which spyware detection program actually detected all of the "spies" on my system?
How come "Spybot - Search & Destroy" detected only three "spies" and "Spyhunter" detected over 100?!

Is the old cliche' true that says you only get what you pay for??
