I came across your post after reading the previous post on the spying Google toolbar... Thought you might find my experience with Spyware Nuker of interest. I clicked a link on Spyware Nuker for more information and got nothing... I thought... Next thing I know I have Spyware Nuker "INSTALLED" on my desktop! Didn't ask permission, didn't warn before installing just downloaded. Messed up McFee... Messed up Outlook... You name it it did it. Needless to say I was very angry! I lost 3 business days trying to get things straightened out and then had to call McFee chat to get the trojan it installed OFF my computer. It was a nightmare albeit a good learning experience.
After all this I went looking on Google search... LOL... about Spyware Nuker and Man Oh Man what a diluge of information. Piece of advice to anyone... Avoid Spyware Nuker like the plague (Which in my opinion it is)... It is "owned" by a company that... Get this... Sells advertising on the internet!
I also found several articles saying the owner of SpyBot is suing Spyware Nuker because the base program in Spyware Nuker is a previous (as in one of the first) versions of SpyBot.
Needless to say I learned a hard but very useful lesson... never download "ANYTHING" onto your computer until you find out from several searches online what they are about and what they actually do when installed.
Needless to say I have a very low opinion of spyware of any kind and personally think any kind of spyware or toolbar that redirects is or should be a criminal offense.
Thanks for letting me vent uhhmm... I meant share :)
