Default Anti Ad and Spyware applications

Dear Erik

You have just proved to yourself why you should have more than one anti-spyware app on your PC, I run three myself Ad-Aware, Spybot and MS Anti-Spyware. Each of these three products has their own strengths and weaknesses.

However, just like scam sites there are countless anti-spyware clones, knock-offs and rip-offs that will ask you to pay for something that is either free or pay for something that will install spyware on your PC, so be very careful

As for a good anti-spyware product you pay for, the only one that I know of, that is not a rip-off, is Webroot. I have not used this software myself but I have read that it is very good. But hopefully Wild Peach will read this and give you her assessment of how good this product really is.

As for any other anti-spyware product, my advice is stay away from them.



UK Bob
