    Hi,

    I recently purchased CounterSpy after happily using Spy Sweeper for quite some time. I like all the features of protection it provides but I am just curious of 2 things...

    1. I have enough memory to not be concerned about how much memory CounterSpy may use, but is the program the most powerful antispyware or would Ewido or some other program?

    2. Does anyone know of a program to "protect" your IE favorites where if they were to be deleted or some websites added due to a virus, etc... alert you before any damage would be done? I know Spy Sweeper has a favorites shield and I liked that shield alot but I don't believe CounterSpy offers it.

    Thanks everyone - Hope someone can help me :)

    Brian

    CounterSpy is an AntiSpyware and ewido an AntiMalware, so with CounterSpy you will have a dedicated protection against spyware.
    ewido also have a nice protection against spyware, but not like CounterSpy...

    CounterSpy doesn't protect your favorites like Spy Sweeper...
