With targeting decisions and policy choices among anti-spyware vendors playing an increasingly important role in the performance of anti-spyware applications, consumers might find it useful to compare the detections among anti-spyware applications for a handful of better known advertising software programs, several of which have lately proven "controversial."

Full Disclosure: since late November 2004 I have performed part-time consulting work as an independent contractor for Sunbelt Software, makers of CounterSpy.
