Comet for Windows is NOT an adware or spyware. Spybot-Search&Destroy or McAfee SiteAdvisor judges it as an adware or spyware only based on the filename "Comet.exe". I received a report that "Comet.exe" is recognized as Comet Cursor by Spybot-Search&Destroy when installing Comet for Windows into a default folder. In my own case, it is recognized as Comet Cursor when creating a short-cut to an executable file "Comet.exe" on the desktop. When you fix the problem using Spybot-Search&Destroy, Comet for Windows will not run properly.
