Hi,
Sometimes ago, I was going to download anti spyware. But there are so many software that I was puzzled. However, at that time I downloaded Xsoft spyware which was lapsed after 30 days evaluation period. Can you name any spyware which is good as well as free?
Thanks in advance.

I use this one. It is free and it is very good

NOD32 and I've been happy with that.
Used to have Norton - NEVER AGAIN! Norton antivirus is notorious for conflicting with other software and is actually not the best in terms of virus protection (look at http://www.virusbtn.com/index).
NOD32 is not free, however, but it's not expensive.
Good luck!

I use Ad-Aware as well as Spybot. In my experience, the first one yielded a particularly good result. But you should feel pretty confident by using both, as well as a normal antivirus.

I agree - I normally run first Adaware and then Spybot.
But even more, I recommend to use alternative browsers like Firefox, Opera and so on. You will be astonished of the results! They hardly let come in any spyware!

| It is good to change your browser | Jul 18, 2006 |
I hardly ever use Internet Explorer. One of the reasons is that because it is so feature-rich, hackers and spyware generators find it very convenient to work with it in embedding spyware/adware on your computer.
Not the same with browsers built on the Mozilla engine (Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox). However, for the purposes of your web use, you will not feel a difference in features between IE and the Mozilla based browsers.

For spyware I use, SpyDoctor and Microsoft's own spyware software which you can download free from their website.

I use Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and AVG antivirus also run in my machine. Still I think that an anti spyware is helpful to get more protection for my machine.
What is your vision?

| My experience with antispyware programs | Jul 18, 2006 |
I only have experience with these two programs. Ad-Aware is very user-friendly. Spybot requires a master's degree in rocket science or brain surgery to use. This is just my opinion.
Besides, a good personal firewall will keep most baddies at bay (or at least it will keep them contained).

I use F-Secure Internet Security for spyware, firewall and anti-virus protection. I also avoid Internet Explorer at all cost - Firefox is the way forward. I used to prefer Opera, but I've now switched to Firefox as I find it more compatible with wider ranger of sites.
F-Secure's Anti Spyware is Ad-Aware though... or at least they look nearly identical if they're not.

Whilst you're at it, why not drop Windows?
