Giant Antispyware 1.0.301 Spyware Defs: 5676

If you run a scan with this program and you have a folder named "Cracks" or
"cracks in your Internet Explorer Favourites folder, it will detect
virtually all the bookmarks in your "Cracks" folder as "Crackspider (Browser
Hijacker)" and if you are not careful in your options it will delete all
your bookmarks to your favourite crack sites. These are obviously false
positives.

I did this, and if I did not have a backup I would have lost lots of
bookmarks.

Hope this helps,

all the best,

Joe.
