That\'s funny!! I haven\'t had any problems with PlaneShift and spyware, and I run scans regularly.  I don\'t know what your scanner is on, but it\'s wrong.  There\'s nothing wrong with the PlaneShift installer, feel free to unquarantine it and run it.

lol, I like that too :)
I like it to have a safe computer. I have AVG pro virus scan, zonealarm pro firewall and adaware 6.0 spy and adware scanner running :)

I\'m updating them daily (exept for zonealarm cause there almost no updates for that) so all new virusses and pieces of adware and spyware will be detacted :P

I also check my system manually by looking abit in the registery keys for non-wanted shit :)

Just because it comes up as spyware doesn\'t mean it will always be spyware :P Had a file in my computer come up as spyware my dad deletes it thinking ok its spyware nuh uh he deleted some file that was important to the computer itself, thank god for safe mode!

If you want a decent program against spyware: use \"Spybot: search and destroy\".

And spyware in an open source program seems me pretty dumb...

I use Spyware Sweeper and it didn\'t tell me anything. I think sometimes a program \"reminds\" the scanner of spyware so it has a panic attack.

I work for a software company that sells a program called Guest Tracker... It\'s for hotels and such... we just had a person today call and tell us that their spyware scanner thought the \"TRACKER.EXE\" was a spyware program.
