I was frustrated that the free ActiveScan apparently found several
thousand Spyware entries (after a clean run from Spybot, Ad-Aware, and
ewido!) yet would not tell me what they were. Just a number (3,955).
So I clicked the TRY link on the Active Scan Pro page here:

But it demanded registration details. What sort of a trial is that?

OK, that was my bad - down to my haste. There *is* a report on what
they are.
However, after reading the Report I find that all but 95 of those 3955
'Spyware' entries are in my Norton Recycle Bin (following past
deletions). And the 95 are all plain cookies. Not only harmless, but
many *essential* if I'm to avoid major log-on inconvenience in forums
and shopping sites etc. So that's zero TRUE Spyware hits.

Unless I've made a mistake there too, that criticism stands.

Do not give Panda your email address or you will receive Panda spam
every day, sometimes twice a day.
Google for "Panda spam." Some people have been trying to get off Panda's
mailing list for a couple of years.

Avoid Panda. It produces phoney alerts to sucker you in.
