try maxthon browser, its great ! but does it have spyware !?

[anandk]

check out maxthon, an ie6 based browser. its great ! i tried fire fox and avant too. but this ones better. apart from tabbed browsing, it got lotsa other features like skins, re-opening closed pages, fast loading, accessing other programs from it, ofcourse sevral search bars, RSS feed, pop-up/ad/active-x/flash blockers & a history & cache eraser. wish the LATEST google search toolbar version could be installed !

but spy sweeper detects spyware EffectiveBrands Toolbar in it. so does maxthon have spyware !?

[grinning_devil]

dude, we've been using it for quite a lota time now

and, Maxthon does NOT have any spyware in it. It is a clean browser. besides, you can update your hosts file and configure it, such that Maxthon will block most of the ads for you.

for information on the latest Maxthon release, see this:

besides, the old name of Maxthon was MyIE2; in case you don't know.

Yeah it does not have spyware and is not an adware as Opera Free Version is but I think it is as vunerable as IE coz it uses IE............

I agree! I don't know abt the spyware but the browser rox! nice appearance, faster downloads.
but nothing so good to bt my opera!!!!

[Ashis]

Yup good browser!!!
But i prefer to stick with Opera

[anandk]

personally even i prefer to use maxthon!

but my question still remains unanswered, 'dude' 8) ! adaware, spybot, pestpatrol, spyware doctor, ms antispyware do not detect maxthon as having spyware...

...but WEBROOT SPYSWEEPER dectects maxthon as having EFFECTIVE BRANDS toolbar ! try removing it; it is inalienable from the browser !

visit the effectivebrands site; visit the webroot spysweeper sites relevent page; google search "effectivebrands+maxthon", and then sir, perhaps you help me with a categorical YES/NO !

[anandk]

if one takes the latest updates of maxthon, &
if one takes the latest updates of spysweeper,
i was told that spysweeper NOW did not find any sypware in maxthon !
