So whats the best to get? Webroot spy sweeper is what Im using now, but I wonder if there is anything else better out there cause its slowing my pc down. And does Kaspersky Internet Security come with anti spyware?

Adaware is the best i think, used alongside HiJackThis and Spybot - S&D.

Spybot Search & Destroy is the best.

I use Adaware SE & Spyware Blaster though, just for backup =)

I agree, Spybot catches so much more. Adaware doesn't even show any sometimes and spybot will show over 200.

All you'll ever need.


You just changed the text size, look under Options, change it back. I know in Firefox, you can just hold CTRL + Move the mouse wheel.

Ad-aware does have enterprise and professional versions. As for Search and Destroy, I haven't a clue.

lol a free program cracked? And I found the perfect combination!

Kaspersky Internet Security + Counter Spy, it works good.

You could try hijackThis..very useful..

most real-time spyware cost money unless you crack them..but for anti-virus scan i suggest you use ClamWin cause it scans the whole of the drive(C or D or A)...and does it in depth...

Spybot and Webroot are good. I don't like Ad-aware cuz it has let me down on a couple of scans.

Only good anti-spyware that I know of that needs a crack to be used is AVG/Ewido anti-spyware. But im good wit my shit so no need.

There really isnt a #1 spyware program from what I've seen lately one will pick up some things and another will pick up the rest. But I think the order should be
1. Spybot
2. Adaware SE
3. Hijackthis

By the way I noticed that AVG Internet security kept kicking me off my wireless conection. Now that I use Kaspersky Internet Security that never happens.

for scanning you can use ClamWin...its really thorough but takes up lots of time though
