I wouldn't trust this site either Doug. From the user reviews I have read on various sites, this appears to be a moderate piece of Spyware. Even the description on c|net states that it is a spyware. Better ignore it and move on. :)

 

Lets see what the malware experts have to say on this. :)

SweetIM isn't malware.

[DSTM]

Thanks Goku.Allways wary of downloading them, since I got a bad download from Smilie Central. I will stick to Site Libraries.:)

Thanks Seth for your advice also,much appreciated.

Just had a look at this Link.

What do you make of it?Guys.

 

SWEETIM.EXE, Spyware Remove

[Seth]

I have no idea what Prevx is talking about, because SweetIM isn't malware. Sweet makes their money by installing a toolbar search that shows a few sponsored results.

 

This is an interesting tidbit from the link:

OK Seth,I will take your word for it.I Googled "Sweet IM security Malware" and was hit by many links that worried me.

 

sweet im security malware - Google Search

[Seth]

Just to further ease your mind Doug, I installed Sweet. As suspected, neither SAS or MB flags it as malware.

[DSTM]

Thats good,Seth,and thanks for staying with my concern.

If SAS and MB,which I have, flag it as safe,then I have no further concerns.

[Seth]

You're welcome:)

 

BTW- You can uninstall Sweet or its toolbar from Add/Remove if you want.
