The Security Mentor

I posted a first look a couple of days ago about Giant Antispyware, which I'd been hearing good things about. I had a favorable first impression but noticed a couple of false alarms, one of which could have happened to a normal person (the other was because of some weird things I look at as a security consultant).

I reported the false alarm to Giant, with full technical detail, just to see what would happen. That was December 2. Giant sent me email the next day which said "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This will be resolved in the next definition update which should be done tonight."

That's good service. Unfortunately their fix doesn't work yet, but I'd still suggest using their product as one of your antispyware programs (you need more than one in these troubled times).
