I have used Spybot S & D for a while now, and it has always worked well

I have recently read an article in WebUser magazine on SpyWare programs where they have tried out the latest about (free and paid for).

Its funny that the 2 that came 1st and 2nd are both free ones, with SpyBot coming 2nd.

The one that came top was Spyware Terminator, which i downloaded and tried yesterday. Its easy to use, fast and has some great features.

It was close between this and SpyBot, but they think that SpyBot's user interface is better suited to Windows 98 than XP or Vista

Anyway, give Spyware Terminator a go, it appears to do everything needed

MadMonkey: Hum... well I will have to give Spyware Terminator a try.

I use both SpyBot & Lavasoft Ad-Aware Personal as "free" spyware scanners. I use both since I have found sometimes 1 will find something the other does not... but always looking for new ones.

coan.net: I thought I heard that if you use 2, they can detect each other or something.

Eriisa: SpyBot actually has a warning when you first start it giving some sort of warning about the Ad-aware program - but I never had any problem.

Also - I DO NOT use any type of feature of any of those program to let them run in the background while I'm doing other things - I simply use them as stand alone scanners. I have not tried the Spyware Terminator yet - but did notice when I went to download, you have to be carefull to get just the Spyware Terminator - and not the one that includes some sort of "web security" which I think runs in the background all the time.

I just use these occasionally to scan my PC.

So if you are running 1 in the background and try to use another one at the same time - then yes, there might be conflicts between the programs.

Относно: Re:

coan.net: When i downloaded it i also downloaded the Web Security which runs in the background as the article i read does recommend it

(but i guess that for people who have no such software installed)

I also have the software that runs with my Broadband package, thats running all the time as well, but i do not trust it. They want me to upgrade to a paying version.

Thats partly the reason i was interested in the review in the first place
