Yes, I've used it and it managed to find some "greyware" which was missed by Avast, adaware, spybot and Microsoft's anti-spyware utility. Whether such "greyware" was a threat I don't know, but it shouldn't have been on my machine and it got past a fully updated "adwatch" facility.
P.P.

I grant you that - it also found two 'non-threatening' greywares on mine, but it DOES seem a lot slower. I am using the 'java-based' option at the moment- [and it keeps rebooting my machine ]

Just tried it in Firefox and it keeps asking me to 'activate JavaScript' - I have????
Edit: OK - I can only get it to work so far with 'Global javascript' with which I am not too happy!

The 'Global' setting is a Firefox 'Options' option for Javascript, flagged as 'dangerous'!!
The Java cp cannot be 'set' as I am using Firefox, not Mozilla or Netscape. The 'Trend' warning regards Javascript, not Java, and I have set the Trend URL as 'safe'
This 'new' House Call does seem a lot slower than the old.

Sorry, the perils of late night posting; I see what you mean re. java v javascript.
NB: I neither use Trend or Firefox, but I thought the latter was Mozilla related (allbeit you can't 'set' it); or am I completely losing it?!?.
