TrueSword is not new. It was listed on the rogue anti-spyware page for a while, but was actually de-listed on 12-26-06.
So, you are a little behind the times on that one -- about 2 years.

| As an addendum, TrueSword is still generating ludicrous false positives ...... IMHO it should be re-added to the SWW rogue list. |
Check the rogues page, at the top -- where it says:

About This Page - Please Read:
Those who have followed the development of this page since 2004 will have noted that the list of "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware products has not been updated since May 2007. Unfortunately, other time commitments have precluded our efforts to keep that list up to date. Since the last update dozens of "new" rogue anti-spyware programs have hit the 'Net. The vast majority of them, however, are not really new, but are simply re-branded clones and knockoffs of the same rogue applications that have been around from years. In most cases, they are being pushed through the same deceptive practices by the same parties responsible for earlier versions. See in particular these "families" of anti-spyware products, which continue to live on through shameless re-branding: 15, 18, 19, 21, 22, & 23.
If you are looking for information on the most recent rogue anti-spyware applications, we recomend visiting these sites:
