Default Spyware

Dear Trekkie

The reason why most users, including myself, recommend only Ad-Aware, Spybot and now MS Antispyware is simply because they are the only products that actually find spyware on your PC and will not (in 99.9% of the time) give you false positives or infect your PC with its own embedded spyware.

Most of the other so-called anti-spyware products are clones (knock-offs) of either Ad-Aware or Spybot and contain their own spyware. And most of us have either had bitter experience ourselves of using these knock-offs or have friends who have used them.

Just a quick word of advice, before you try anything either bought or downloaded from the internet please do some research.
