    Yes, I'm surprised to see that.  I've used ewido anti-malware 3.5 a few times, and it seemed like a tool worth having.  Here's the actual PC Magazine review:  ewido anti-spyware 4.0.  

    I also was not aware ewido, or at least part of it, was acquired by AVG in April.  So, the latest version of ewido anti-spyware is AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5.

    I haven't seen the scanner in action yet, but I found it to be an annoying program and even w ith its service disabled it continued to harass me!

      Notice the shift in the name from anti-trojan to anti-spyware?
      Ewido used to be good, I wonder if Grisoft have been playing around with it.

      If anything i'm sure they will improve on it...

      I've been using it for 2 years now without any issues and it has done quite well killing trojans.

      p.s. I also don't put much credence in anything PCRag prints anymore...haven't for quite some time.
             They tend to cater to their advertisers. (Norton comes to mind)
