    Hi Ben,

    This survey only included those applications which use dictionaries to
    clean their systems. HJT is an involved tool that is best used with
    experts.

    Ad-Aware and SpybotS&D can be used safely thanks to their reference files.

    This is why HJT and others like Winpatrol were left out of the poll.

    And for the last statement, you are right. Look at download.com and how
    they use three products today to test files on their site.
