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.

A variety, including adaware and bazooka spyware scanner.  I like to keep malicious little pieces of software off my machine :D  Welcome to PlaneShift and good luck!!

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 :)

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.
