Strange! Antispyware infected with spyware?
I decided to try and test spyware cease.I open firefox...
I search in google to find that WOT the safe page addon didn't like the website (capture 1)
I said never mind and i click <<ignore warning and go to the site>>.(capture 2)
So i download the spyware cease setup and i scan the file with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and....see yourself the result (capture 3)
Is something wrong?
Is a fault alert?
What?

I would not use it.
With that being said:
There is great debate on whether it is a rouge app or not. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer yet. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba L505
