Which Anti-Spyware do you prefer?

Which anti-spyware do you prefer? I prefer SpySweeper, however I use SpySweeper+Ad-Aware+Microsoft anti-spyware+Spybot Search & destroy.

 

Giant ... prior to M$'s acquisition.

 

This is tough. It's between MS AntiSpyware (I've never tried the Giant Version) and SpySweeper for me.

I've switched between both for the past few weeks or so and both have caught stuff the other hasn't. Coincidentally, I just caught my first piece of Spyware with Spysweeper the other day. It was the "Neededware". MS Antispyware caught some kazaa malware and something else maybe. They are both great but I can't really decide which offers better protection. I hate to say it (just because it's Microsoft ) but I might be leaning towards MS antispyware.

Only time will tell, however. My license for Spysweeper runs out in October.


Spray-on Dust

 

The original Giant here too.

 

I have used all in the list apart from SpySweeper. All seem to do the job.

Original Giant and Spysweeper

 

I ticked Ad-aware simply because I can see results which are 99% clean. I have SpywareBlaster which could be equally as good as Ad-aware, but no results displayed.

 

I use SBS&D, SWB and AAW. They all play nicely together. I found the M$ one a bit buggy and got rid of it....it's still beta anyway.
Buck.

 

mmmmm, I Think for me is my mother in law staying by my side, that´s the best. jejeje, just a joke!!!

 

I use SBS&D, AAW-SE, Spywareblaster and spywareguard. All run perfectly.

 

ADAWARE PLUS

 

"Which Anti-Spyware do you prefer?"

I prefer MS-Antispyware which is FREE and is proven to be best in various tests.

 

eScan's XBases all the way!!! Of course, I do use Ad-Aware and Spybot too.

 

I've found spysweeper to find stuff that spybot n adaware doesnt. It did conflict with Nod32 initially but soon sorted that. They all run happily enough tho together.

 

I like Spy Sweeper & Ewido (realtime) a lot. They sit in my systray and play nicely together.
Never had any problem with these apps. Adwatch is also running in the systray.
Together with KAV I think it's a pretty strong defence.
Just removed the original Giant & ZeroSpyware, although my subscription to Giant wasn't expired yet.
I like it better this way. IMO

 

Ad-Aware Plus and SpyBot.

 

the best anti spyware is a combination of two or more,i have Doctor Spyware,Spy Boot S & D,Ad-aware and another one that sometimes i install for testing.

 

My arsenal consists of Spybot, Adaware, Spyware Doctor, Spyware Blaster and Intermute's SpySubtract.
I feel its better to have different programs as all programs have their own specialities.

lol we have to use a coctel for removing spyware

 

CounterSpy

 

Actually, Kaspersky 4.5 with extended databases seems to catch everything. So it would have to be my favorite. After that, Ad-aware seems to be the most useful in catching and cleaning up things. Giant use to find something now and then that Ad-aware missed, but after MS purchased it, it doesn't find anything anymore. MS must have done something to mute it. I'm going to run my once-a-month Giant scan hoping that it finds something and making my purchase somewhat worthwhile. No way will I renew.

LOL, the guys at MS mess up things..ALWAYS!

 

CounterSpy

 

Forgot to mention it...CounterSpy is a great tool. I am trialling it.

 

Yes, CounterSpy will be one of the tools I will be looking at when my Giant license expires.
