You will never get something better then the Best Spinner, period.
About that virus stuff, I'm the developer of the tool and I have no intention of spreading virus or malwares. Those results, I think, are false positives due to the obfuscator I used to obfuscate /"encrypt" my code. And also those were detected by some antivir that I've never heard of, maybe their heuristics might have gone a bit far 
And as for making comparison between a free software and a paid one, I have nothing to say.

Still a little concerned about the results. Normally false positives (from what I've found) don't tend to come up as such serious viruses as this. What obfuscator did you use? Did you use the same obfuscator for your Comment Blaster tool? Because that tool comes out clean. Just still seems fishy.

Just to clue you guys in,
these are indeed false positives, mainly due to OP's use of obfuscation. Virustotals are generally a sham anyhow, since the analysis done is very vague. They basically look at certain patterns and compare against common virus-morphology traits and whatnot...
Code obfuscation is widely used in the vir-making industry (to hide certain parts of code), thus OP's app triggers an alarm with some of the (less "smart" or less developed) AVs. OP might be using an obfuscator that has been triggered before, OP's obfuscator might not have been added to the "trusted" database, thus it's patterns are causing an alarm...
More on this can be found over here for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/653472/is-there-a-way-to-avoid-having-my-obfuscated-application-looking-like-a-virus
But generally speaking, 2/42 is nothing serious... A real virus/trojan would trigger several AVs. My advice to OP, use a different obfuscator (or ditch it all together since everything can be mem-dumped anyhow... Unless you are using elaborate VM obfuscation... Which still is no guarantee by the way).
Good app by the way and good luck!

This tool uses synonym db from MS Office, so I don't think you can do much. If I have time then I look into this, but I am busy with other projects right now.
@scriptomania: Thanks for the clarification.
@bpockets: yes I use same obfuscator for all of my tools. Seriously I dont know why those AVs raised an alarm, one possibility might be that this tool opens MS Word in the background and communicates with it (sends the word from the app / retrieves the synonyms). But I dont understand why this should be the reason
I can do nothing about making it "clean" as it is clean already. If anyone thinks its fishy then I suggest you not to use the tool.
Cheers

Love this app man....rep/thanks given!
One thing I would like to see is when you're re-writing something and you forget to close the brackets with { and }, you get this error:
UNBALANCED BREAK
Thus, you then have to go through your article to find out where you forgot to add the ending bracket "}" at...
If the software could pick-up on, or at least narrow down where that error is most likely happening at...that would be really kick-ass!
How?
Maybe by using a red or yellow shaded background over an area where it picks up on a starting "{" but doesn't find an ending "}" before the next starting "{" begins...
Something like this:
{Hey!|What's Up?|What's Happening?},
{Figured I'd stop by and|Thought I'd drop by|Figured I'd stop what I was doing} and see what's {going on with you?|going on?|what'ca been up to latey?}
{Not|Haven't} heard from you in{a long while|awhile and thought you were dead? LOL! {But seriously|Seriously though}....where you been buddy?
As you can see, between the first " { " and the second " { "...there is no ending " } "...
Implement something like this, and you'd make it easy for us users to find our mistakes, as well as separating your software from all the other free apps on the market!
Other then that, I can't really see nothing else wrong! I like it because I tend to re-write my articles word by word, line by line, and it's nice to see how the article flows as I write each one, so I can quickly and easily find those mistakes and correct them!
