Best Paid Anti-Spyware Program

Since in another thread I asked people to rate my security setup, and I think I got low scores in the anti-spyware department due to having Trend Micro Anti-spyware (and other reasons too) so I want to focus on what the people think is the best choice for anti-spyware is. I want the best paid for the active defense, I don't mind paying any price too. So let me hear your thoughts...

 

You got low marks for having IE7 and site advisor (meaning get firefox or opera)... If you want another anti-spyware program then just get SUPER anti-spyware free because it's a great program or Spyware Terminator (has active shield for free and also has HIPS, but the HIPS is not a need to surf the net) and you'll be fine. Seriously your setup is good for an average user... And your poll... well you forgot ALOT of paid anti-spyware programs.....

Example...Spyware Doctor
Super Anti-Spyware Pro
A-Squared Anti-Malware
Adaware Pro or w.e they call it

Remember also, programs with a price are NOT necessarily the best.

 

WoW.

I must concede to UNDECIDED! There are some right now that are going thru too many changes too fast to post an accurate measurement of them.

But if i had to make a decision tomorrow i would select SUPERANTISPYWARE whether i regreted it later or not.


My Conclusion: Other=UNDECIDED

 

I know paid or higer price doesn't mean better software, it's just that with paid anti-spyware it's usually has active defense, to free being just scanning. I would never use spyware terminator, I know it's prob good, but it's company background is fishy, and I don't like it.

 

I could be wrong, but from what I've seen and tested so far, it appears that only AVG Anti-spy supports cleaning of Firefox cookies. The others seem to be aimed at IE type issues, and if one is a user of Firefox only, then little is to be gained IMO.

 

superantispyware pro since its very light has lots of options.
daily updates.
very good at blocking malware installations.
more repairs than the free version.
cute little bug icon in taskbar
Nick can i get a free license?
I think i should be a sales person for SAS
lodore

 

AVG AS for me.

I like the feel of it and I understand how to use it to its maximum to protect my system.

 

VERY impressed with Counterspy.

 

i would go with SUPERAntiSpyware Pro. its light on resources and effective against spyware.

CounterSpy is showing great strides with the 2.0 betas though; it probably be my second choice.

 

I consider BOClean to be anti-spyware as well and I think it is the best all around non AV protection there is. I got to say BOClean.

 

OK: It's been given enough time for my local reviews compared to others and the decision is the same.

SUPERAntiSpyware Pro

 

I agree.BOClean would be #1 for me.
If you want a program that has a scanner,I'd compare CounterSpy 2.0 and SAS Pro.Trial each and choose the one that runs better on your computer.

 

for a paid Anti-Spyware go with Spy Sweeper.

 

i just install SUPERAntiSpyware Pro to try it and see how light on resources is, and it take 35mb to me thats no to light

so i vote for AVG AS

 

I'm never really sure what people mean when they talk about a program being light. To me its a question of how much the program slows a computer down.
add enough programs that are "running" and you will soon need a newer and faster machine. So is the 35 meg file size really relevant ? not clear here are you talking 35 meg on hard drive or 35 meg of memory ?

 

At the moment SuperAntiSpyware Pro. I did look at the CounterSpy 2 beta but it started to balk so will come back to that one...Sunbelt.'Evolving...What we’ve been working on'
