Tenebril debuts free anti-spyware tool. You can find it HERE. It seems to work quite well and is a real-time blocker/checker for 'Key-Stroke Loggers" as well. I downloaded it last night & ran checks on my supposedly 'clean' computer and came up with 7 definite Adware/Trojan Horse type programs that were caught and quarantined.

Are you familiar with the Tenebril company and its products? I've not heard of this company before and am curious if you have any previous experience with them.

Have you looked to see if the installation made any unexpected changes in your registry or system start-up settings?

What were the "7 definite Adware/Trojan Horse type programs" found?
