Netcom3™ Spyware Remover

Not sure about this one. It's totally unknown but it still says things like 'experts agree' and 'most advanced'. SiteAdvisor gives it a red label.

Downloadable from netcom3.com

Its the same company. the Affiliate page is the same apart from colour. I tried them, netcom3 that is and I couldnt get the key to work, they sent me another and that didnt work either. So I asked for my money back, as per their 58 day guarantee, Still waiting. They still keep sending me keys that dont work. Stay clear of them

I've used Netcom3 for almost a year. It is very efficient at cleaning up your registry.
Here's their web site including 'about us' type info. hxxp://www.netcom3.com/
It is definitely not a spammer organization.
The key provided me works fine. I do not know of any conflicts with anti-viral/malware software other than Malwarebytes.
Most of the problems they find are registry errors, e.g. incompletely removed software HKEYs.
They do charge $10/month for up to 10 computers so they are not cheap.
Can someone document an instance of 'spam' operation?
If no one can document a problem with them I'd request that Malwarebytes NOT report them as malware.

I don't think so...
