Daemon Tools
|
Unwanted
|
Add or Remove Programs entry for DAEMON Tools. Daemon Tools is a virtual cd/dvd-rom emulator. It is able to emulate nearly all known copy protections on the market today.
This software was originally on the remove list because it came with the DAEMON Tools WhenU SearchBAR and WhenU Save Now adware and did not give you the option of whether or not to install it. Daemon Tools now, though, provides the option not to install the adware when you install Daemon Tools. With this in mind, if you did not install the adware, then it is unnecessary to uninstall Daemon Tools.

Add/Remove Programs entry for AdwareFilter.
According to Spyware Warrior's Rogue Anti-spyware List:
"PCSafe Adware Filter was listed on this page because of concerns with false positives and the exploitation of names and words associated with other, competing applications. Testing with the latest version of the program indicates that the problems with earlier versions have been satisfactorily resolved. Furthermore, we are satisfied that the vendor is taking steps to address the complaints from competing vendors. Thus, we can no longer consider Adware Filter to be "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware."
