Default which spyware program do you prefer?

I use Spybot search and Destroy....Spy Bot overall, is a good program, but in my humble opinion, not as good as Adware. Unlike Ad-Aware it provides an immunization database for free.

Ad-Aware; Ad-Aware is fairly good, because of its' easy updates, but it's features are concealed in the free version.But a company has to support itself....


Spyware Doctor. I'm a bit so/so with this program. I don't use it myself because of the "trust" thing. I see so many ads for it.....

Microsoft Anit Spyware Beta is very good. Fast and good user interference. Very simple update program, and great detection rates compared to the other free Anti Spyware and Adaware programs.

Hi all,

I use Spy Sweeper and Ad-Aware. They seem to really work well for me.

Take care,

Ad-aware and Spybot are both Anti-spywares but they each detect a different kind of spyware, so you should have Ad-aware SE and Microsoft Defender Beta 2 aswell as Spybot S&D.
