hi guys, firstly apologies if this is posted in the wrong place, so please move it to somewhere more appropriate.

I know this forum is to ask about rogue anti-spyware programs but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there is an online database to check if any program is a rogue program.

In particular I am trying to find out if the program called 'Wincleaner oneclick cleanup' is rogue or safe?

Thanks for any help that anyone can give.

Jtk

younggun, thanks for your swift reply which is much appreciated, but isn't that site just to check out the anti-spyware programs like spysweeper etc to see if they're legit or not? the program I'm trying to check is a 'cleanup' program & I'm trying to find out if it's safe or not?

thanks,

Jtk

You could always check McAfee SiteAdvisor, in case someone has left comments and such. You do need to know the domain name though.
