Review summary |
The free Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.4 offers many features, but when it comes to detection and removal, there are better free products on the market today such as Microsoft Windows Defender.
|
Windows Defender is free and therefore should be a part of your desktop antispyware collection. Still, it's best to get a second opinion, probably from your name-brand antivirus-plus-software application.
|
Spybot is both free and adaptable for both beginning and power users, but it left behind several known spyware apps.
|
Spyware Doctor 5.1 could be more aggressive in removing all traces of found spyware.
|
CA Internet Security Suite 2009 has made some modest gains over its previous efforts, but overall it lags behind its security suite competition in speed and effectiveness.
