Spyware Cleaner - another one to stay away from, i guess ! it has been accused of selling fake antispyware and has just settled a suit !

A company accused of selling phony antispyware tools has settled a lawsuit filed by Washington State's attorney general.

White Plains, N.Y.-based Secure Computer has agreed to pay $1 million to settle charges that it violated Washington’s computer spyware law, the attorney general's office said in a statement Monday. The case was the first lawsuit under the law.

Filed in January, the suit accused Secure Computer of marketing software that falsely claimed PCs were infected with spyware, then enticing consumers to pay $49.95 for a program called Spyware Cleaner that claimed to remove it...
