In an organization, can degrade network performance and consume vast amounts of storage. May create security issues as outsiders are granted access to internal files. Often bundled with Adware or Spyware.
Argh...

instead of investigating which client is really bad, they accuse all.

Kath you should think twice using such a program. As long the say all might be unsafe what should you delete? What is with other programs you donīt know and they say "it might be unsafe"? You might get in trouble by deleting the "wrong" files...

SpySweeper has not shown up...there were 77 instances of spyware.
I bet at least 76 of the files this program foung isnīt spyware, perhaps some cookies or other "dangerous" software like limewire.
