   hahahaha... i went there using lynx on a text only machine... wasn't sure i   
   liked it so googled a bit and asked a few friends in the industry about it...   
   i haven't had any responses from them but here's a link i did find...   
      
   Is SPYNOMORE a legitimate anti spy ware product?

   Spynomore falls into that gray area of software that were previously   
   considered rogue, then cleaned up their act *just enough* to be considered   
   legit.   
      
   Like Xoftspy, NoAdware, AdwareAlert and several others that are hawked on here   
   by shills, Spynomore scans for free, if will find about a gazillion   
   infections, even on a *virgin* machine, and then you have to buy it to remove   
   the imaginary stuff that it claimed to find.   
   [/quote]   
      
   there is more info in other answers to the question... personally i'll stay   
   away from that one and use what i already know works and maybe one of the   
   others mentioned that i've used in the past...   
      
   i'm still looking for something legitimate that points to a virus from   
   amazonaws... right now i'm reading through a few assistance topics on bleeping   
   computer where they are running through some cleanup stuff supposedly related   
   to amazonaws... one person has gathered quite a mess of infestations but   
   nothing specific to amazonaws... they've cleared a lot of stuff using three or   
   four tools and reset their firefox to defaults and now are in the process of   
   cleaning up their chrome browser... i'm going back to bed when i finish   
   reading their topic... it makes my head hurt :/
