Rep Power: 10 DaWei is on a distinguished road
That program (xoftspy) is a freakin' liar in more ways than one. I clicked your link and downloaded the free trial and ran it. It told me I had a worm in the registry in a place I check regularly (the common ...\...\...\run... places). I took it at its word and went and looked. The registry key was as bare as a baby's butt. So I asked my self what would it do if I asked it to delete it. Here's what it did: told me I had to go pay for the program first. The effer is now gone from my system, never to return. Oh, it also would have hijacked my browser home page to MSN if I had gone with the default setup.
