Hello everybody.

Today, some spyware had been detected in the laptop of my boss, then he ask me what anti-spyware software is the best to scan and clean? But i don't know the answer !???

Please recommend a good on demand scanner( scan and clean).

Thank you.

Take a look at the list here

Depending on the type of infection, you might need one or more or possibly none of them might work. You never know.

Note: some of them will not remove unless you pay.

Some like Ad-aware, Spybot, SUPERAntiSpyware, Windows defender, AVG Anti-Spyware will clean but the license might restrict to personal user only.

I'd look at AVG Antispyware,A-Squared,and SUPER Antispyware.
Choose one or use all as free scanners.;)

There are many on demand scanners and cleaners available online. A few are noted on my signature line. You can also go directly to any major AV/AS vendor's site to see if they offer any free on demand scanning/cleaning of your system.
