I no longer can access the site. It's been that way for several days now. Did the black hats take it out?

It has not been unusual over the last several months for the site to be taken out by the bad guys for days at a time (I seem to recall a particularly bad stretch that spanned almost a month not long ago).
What are you looking for, in particular?
One of us might be able to advise as to an alternate source.

Hello carr and thanks for your reply. I'm concerned that I can no longer access the site and the good programs it contains. I've used several them over the last year or two. It also is a concern that the black hats can attach and succeed in taking down any site that offers help for computer users. I hope spywareinfo comes back and many site like them.
They'll be back up.
It seems that the best get picked on the most.
In the meantime, you can get many of the progs from spywareinfo.com here, if needed:

Are your registry and data backed up?

Looks like their up now, but very slow. Must be under heavy attacks still.
Bear with them.

Just got sent the latest Spyware Weekly Newsletter :· August 18, 2004.
They state:
"SWI Currently Down
Spywareinfo.com is not working at the moment. The site is being mirrored at at the moment."
The scumloads have a lot to loose by the existence of such sites. It shows you how lucrative spyware must be.
