| | Spyware Warrior: Anti-Spyware Testing (Guide) |
 | | Although a number of "tests" of anti-spyware scanners have been reported on the Net, many if not most of those tests are of limited value because the design, methodology, and execution of the tests is not fully and publicly documented, leaving even experienced users and experts to wonder just how meaningful those tests really are. |
| | One significant aspect of these applications that was tested only in the third round of tests, however, was how well the applications remove Winsock LSP hijacks (if removed incorrectly, the network connection of the PC may be broken). |
| | Before testing, all "anti-malware" protections were disabled, including all resident "anti-malware" scanners, spyware "immunizations," custom browser security settings, and other system configurations designed to block the installation or execution of "malware." The spyware and adware was then installed from the internet. |
