Spyware Software

[Don]

I've tried various spyware trial offers where a scan finds numerous trojans and adwares followed by a request to register the product. Are these findings for real or is it a scam/inducement for you to buy the product? I follow up and run a scan with McAfee, but nothing is detected. Is McAfee that useless?
