Notes: Hotbar and its package of bundled apps (which are installed as a semi-integrated suite of applications) were installed onto a test computer. Twelve anti-spyware applications were then run, all with the latest publicly available program versions and definitions for those products. No removals were performed. * Note: this table was updated to reflect: a) the release of new definitions for X-Cleaner on 31 July 2005; b) testing performed with Spybot S&D.
