Ad-Protect

Over the week-end my dad got a pop on his computer that looked like it
came from the Microsoft Security Center. Saying that his spy ware
program is not getting all the spy ware that is on to his computer and
to look into updating to another program. It listed off some programs
and one of them was Ad-Protect v 6.3. Well he thought the message
actually came from Microsoft and he bought Ad-Protect. Can anyone tell
me if they are using Ad-Protect and is it a reputable program? Or is it
more spy ware that he bought?

Thank you,
Julie

If *any* software popped an unannounced window open on my computer, I
would immediately consider it a scam.

Ad-Protect was de-listed from the Rogue Anty-Spyware page (search the
page for "Ad-Protect"); maybe it is time to re-list it?

Spyware is normally spelled as one word, not "spy ware". Thanks.
