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.

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 :/
