Spyaxe purports to be an anti-spyware tool, but it's in fact adware. It has been, at times, the No. 2 hit on Google for "spyware." CoolWebSearch was No. 1 on the you-don't-want-to-get list, but it has now been replaced by Spyaxe. This isn't the first time that software purporting to be "security software"
has, in fact, been malicious...nevertheless, it demonstrates the problem the public face. What do they hear? "Got spyware, get an anti-spyware tool!" How are they to know that one tool is legitimate and yet another isn't?
