What is the best anti-spyware program?  That cleans up all spyware from your computer also.

I would say Spy Sweeper is the best software for Spyware that I have come accross.

    Juan Fisto..... LOL ...... thats a loaded question ........ I dont think that any of the decent ones ever get it all ....so if you ask 10 people , you will probably get at least 6 differant answers. I have tried it on several occassions and its ok , but it doesnt find it all ...... Now ,I would have to add ,that I have not tried the latest version of it Version 4.5 .....

    I use AdAware and Spybot. As mentioned previously, one is seldom enough!  ;)

      Ad-Aware is ok , however it doesnt even begin to offer the protection that Spybot offers ....you should be using both ...... they get along just fine .

      I hate both Ad-Aware and Spybot. Neither offer real-time protection, giving the Spyware plenty of opprotunities to disable the protector. Not just that, but I want to know the second I get something. Not find out after buying things online.

        Flame, put Spybot into Advanced Mode & you will find out why it's highly regarded.

          having an anti spy program that runs in the background to find spyware is good, but with my celeron, i dont have the proccessing power to spare to be runnin anything like that, i hate this thing, i plan to build another, with a 775 socket 3.2 ghz Pentium 4 prescott HT with 1mb of cache out of an ole HP desktop (somones givin  me it free, they only use AMD) but, i do advise programs that run constantly if your computer can handle it. even with a gig of ram, my celeron d is far too weak to do much.... even when it comes to protection...

            There is no comparison between Adaware & Spybot, I've given up using Adaware in favour of running ccleaner and the Spybot Resident & EI Tweaks.

            I have a PIII-500 with 128 RAM that has absolutely NO problems doing this. What's the difference? I do not run XP! Win2000 does all of this quite easily. There's a lesson here somewhere. ;)

            spy sweeper is the best. i had a problem with adware, and spybot conflicting with spy sweeper. all three were trying to monitor the net and my connection was really slow.

            now i just use spy sweeper and not problems at all.
