An easy way to tell if a program contains Spyware is to do a Google search and type in the program name, followed by the word 'spyware'.
If the results give a lot of postings where users are complaining about the software, then it's a safe bet that you should steer clear of it. :hammer:

That is a good site Jane and I often use it. I typed in Handybits Voicemail and it came up with nothing. The google search gives 51 replies on this particular one. Quite handy for a double check.:)
