I went to get the update defs and found that it no longers gives them.  But i found this sitting on the page.  Antivirus09 (or Antivirus’09) is a new rogue that follows the normal rogue procedure. It is distributed through a web page that presents the user with a fake online scanner.

If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

For adaware?  Odd...  I haven't used it in about 3 years because it always gave me some sort of a "cannot fricken update" crap!!!!!

I agree, compruler.  Super tends to miss a lot.  I have never understood why it is on the malware removal guide.  An extra precaution?  I mean everything super does, mbam does better.

Ask evilfantasy why he has it on his list of good antimalware programs. He recommended me it but I haven't tried it out yet.

nothing is 100%, but of course it's always gonna get better .... one developer can "take" what other developer already found out and make something better out of it.... right?
