Brute Force Uninstaller - uninstaller unwanted software

Brute Force Uninstaller (BFU) is a scripting program that can execute a series of preset commands like a Windows batch file, aimed at uninstalled programs that are hard to remove, uninstall improperly or simply unwanted. Scripts are plaintext and can be written with Notepad, and the command syntax is very transparent.
BFU is very complete and powerful, has a small memory footprint and has no uninstaller.

Found new rogue antispyware - Web Spy Shield

Sunbelt team found a new scam, which does a fake scan of your PC.

It installs a toolbar and an exe in a webspyshield folder however, it is a fake web based scam. You have to be connected for it to run and I would hate to think what anyone may pay for to register it as it is no real software but only a new form of their online scanner scams.

The hijackthis shows Web Spy Shield:
