I'd uninstall or remove it right away... Here's some dirt on SpywareBomb
"SpyWare BOMB may be a rogue anti-spyware program that may install itself onto your computer through a Trojan or web security holes, or which you may download from its official site. SpyWare BOMB may launch itself on Windows startup, and SpyWare BOMB may show exaggerated security alerts to attempt to scare you into downloading the "full-version" of the software. SpyWare BOMB may be very difficult to remove manually. SpyWare BOMB may be compared to ContraVirus, SpySheriff, and SpyLocked." |

It seems to be a rogue. We will test this program and post a review. |

Well, what is the best?
I used to love Lavasoft Ad-aware SE (6), but it was natural because Ad-aware was the first antispyware program I had to use... it was free, simple and it did what it was supposed to do. As to version 2007, I think it's too resource-hungry. Interface is a little bit overcomplicated. Some people like it, some - don't. I belong to the latter.
Than, I tried Webroot SpySweeper. Pretty good application, though on my PC it loads too slow. Besides, it has less than 190,000 definitions of spyware, while ParetoLogic includes over 269,000 (as of now). Big difference to me.
I saw Panda IS 2007 in action as well. Perhaps it's a good all-in-one solution, but I would like it to provide more info on what it does in each and every detection case.
Several years ago it was not uncommon to have occasional pop-ups screaming about spyware infections and pleading to download the remedy. Now I don't see those pop-ups at all, perhaps because switched to FireFox  |

Firefox is definately a better choise i must say something about the number of definitions used by different tools. well, as in any other case the large amount doesn't mean quality even legitimate antispywares sometimes use false positives (like include competitor tool to scan results)... sometimes cookies are counted on the definitions and i must say not all cookies are harmful. however the choice is yours sometimes a smart antispyware may not catch a parasite and sometimes a simple tool works pretty well for years. you never know until you try  _________________ I reccomend spyware doctor and malware bytes as ultimate protection. |

That's absolutely true!
The same goes about antivirus pograms. Once I had a PC sequentially scanned by Avast, AVG, plus online services Housecall (Trend Micro) and Bitdefender. They ALL found something!
As for ParetoLogic and its database of definitions, some customers find it relieving to have as many definitions as possible. And it's not bad, anyway. The one and only universal protection with 100% guarantee simply does not exist yet. At least I'm unaware Of course, having no computer can be counted for such protection  |
