This is the screen shot of the results from a scan that I ran on 03 February 2009. These results surprise me becaue I have not ran a scan in a while (I normally use AdAware) and I exprected there to be more spyware programs. What also surprises me is that many of these programs seem to be associated with the browser Chrome. This may be because the Spybot was written before Chrome was released, or at least widely in use. It probably recognizes this as a harmful program even though it is completely benign just because of its structure. Another response to this scan was the relative short time that it took: no more than ten minutes. This seems short to completely scan and entire system, so I have to believe that it scans only specific areas.
