    Also, as has been previously pointed out, SpyBot, in a prior version,
    detected AdAware's quarantine and reported it. This has not been the
    case for a very long time, though. Also, there was a program that was
    based on stolen SpyBot sourcecode. I don't recall if that program
    contained spyware itself or not, though.
