From the Spycrush page:

| Spyware, like a virus, is a malicious software planted on your PC by a third party in order to secretly monitor what you do online. |
They like to keep it simplistic don't they? Or are they just being 'user-friendly'?

Appears to a clone of Virus Burst which is allready on the rogue list.
The EULA page in the installer is for Virus Burst. After finding Virus Burst in the rogue list I cancelled the install. |

Netcathost has the dubious honor of being SANS' most hated netblock of 2005.

Most Hated Netblock:195.225.176.x - 195.225.177.x (AS31159)
Provider: Netcathost, Kiev, Ukraine
Reason for claim to fame: Hosting exploits, browser hijackers and CoolWebSearch related annoyances since several months. Ignoring, bouncing, or rejecting any complaints to the abuse contacts. |
DNS and domain registration courtesy of Estdomains.
Registrant info is probably fake or possibly an ID theft victim.

Been registered since 1999, but it says no website. It looks like it's probably a legit company.

Registered over 2 years ago. No website -- when I clicked the thumbnail, I got a page not found. Proxy registrar.
