I trusted this company to protect my computer from spywares but I see they were only for their interest. I am getting rid of it right now and going to a more trustworthy company even if it means spending more money for it. They have lost all their credibility with me and the huge network of online friends. Bye bye lavasoft, next time think about your customers instead of your pocket. Tons of questions were asked in their forums about their involvement with spyware companies but guess what, mysteriously the forums are offline for maintenance.. hmmmm..coincidence. I will let you be the judge of that.

If you read my story http://dfwforums.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=62&mode=&order=0&thold=0, then you know this is par for the course for lavasoft.
Anytime questions arise about their software or their support they bow up and circle the wagons.
This is the future of spyware removal http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
Super fast scanning engine and real time monitoring. It's also receiving high marks from reviewers.
I still have AdAware along with SpyBot S&D but the lavasoft issue makes me suspicious of other spyware removal tools.
Selling out to an adware vendor, depending on the vendor, probably isn't going to lead to a system crash or lock-up so I fear that other removal tool makers have done what lavasoft has done, they just haven't been caught yet.

Your article is exactly right. Thanks also for the link to the microsoft antispyware. I will be using that instead of lavasoft adware.
