What is the best dependable, no-nonsense anti-spyware program?

[hal@not.here.com]

I do use Spybot, but I think I would like something with more frequent
updates. What is considered the best all around anti-spyware program?
Cost is not the deciding factor as to whether I'll buy it or not.

I agree with cmsix. SuperAntiSpyware is a good program.

IMO, Webroot Spy Sweeper. Been using it for over 2 yrs and couldn't
be happier.

Always seems to get the best reviews, that and Spyware Doctor.

There is no single "best" anti-spyware program!
Maybe, you could read this:

And "Must have free downloads" can be found here:

- Protect my computer from Malware
- and some more .......

O yes, I also use SuperAntiSpyware.

===============================/:
The industry leader is Webroot Spysweeper which does about the best.
The other two rivals (these are all rated top three) are Trend Micro
Antispyware and CounterSpy.

Another doing very well is PC Tools SpyDoctor. These top products all
have shields - real time protection that is necessary and combined
with real time antivirus and a firewall for the top protection the
average consumer can purchase and use.

Spyware is like a virus or worm in that you would want to stop dead in
its tracks before it does damages. With spyware - you want that
stopped before it spies and transmits. This is why the real time
protection software programs are expounded on as opposed to using free
programs that do not offer real time protection - scanning after
infections to remove them and after the damage is done - either to the
computer system or personal informations.

Bottom line - ask around about Webroot Spysweeper.... I have been
using it for years and Trend Micro Antispyware (both catch the most).

First line of defense is a router with a built-in firewall.
Use a secure browser such as Firefox/w NoScript, AdBlock, and a Cookie
Manager installed. Use a good AV solution like NOD32. How about a secure
e-mail client? Thunderbird is a good choice. I use this combo and have
not had a problem for years.
