I have heard many good things about many different Spyware Software, so I figured I'd ask as I'm sure most people might have the same question as me. So let's get to the bottom of this and figure out just exactly WHICH one is the overall best! I prefer Spyware Doctor!

Dammit! I do apologize as I forgot to add other... or none... my bad

Ad-Aware was the winner last time

Windows Defender Beta 2 is better than any other (i think so)

[pfaf]

shoot...i just accidentally hit the null vote button...

anyway, my vote was for windows defender. otherwise i'd pick ad-aware.

[Rounder]

Wow are you kidding me? I had windows defender and it was by far THE worst out of all of them, didn't find anything, the one i have now finds a lot and never causes problems.

I just really like Spyware Doctor as it blocks Ad-ware, Spyware, Cookies, and malicious activeX. As well as others.

I used Enigma Software Group's Spy Hunter. For me, it worked great and had no problems whatsoever.

I voted for Ad-aware since it blocks also the tracking cookies and it protects the startup programs. I also use the Microsoft AntiSpyware (Beta 1).

[Jatin]

Spybot - Search & Destroy added!

[Guylia]

Voted for AdAware, really good programm, i'm using it for 2 years.
XoftSpy is also quite good spyware catcher, very fast and easy-to-use.

Sincerelly, Guylia

Using Windows Defender with ZoneAlarm right now.

[Burned Phoenix]

I used to use Lavasoft Ad-Aware but I switched to Windows Defender formerly known as Microsoft AntiSpyware and I'm glad I did.

Norton and Zone-Labs real time spyware protection is not up to the mark

[invhntr]

Spyware Doctor and SpySweeper are the best BY FAR.
Problem is, you have to pay for them.

[Siraka_Serion_Semi]

Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition.

[lareeth]

I use Windows Defender Beta 2

[Virus Smith]

Windows Defender + ZoneAlarm

[FalseAgent]

Microsoft antispyware beta 1 was much nicer than beta 2 u gotta say that man!

i use Lavasoft Ad-Aware. Rock on!

HITMAN is by far the best program i've ever had you all should try this it's simply the best.
It's a mix of the best all mentioned above programs in one package.
Really seriously this is by far the best.

hitman

It's a dutch site but simply translate it with babelfish.

Norton Antivirus also detacts and removes spywares and it works quite good.
