Overview
If you're worried about Spyware and Adware, you should be. Almost every PC in the world has been or will be infected by them. Why are Spyware and Adware so dangerous? First of all, they cause your system to become unstable and even more importantly, they put you at a severe risk of becoming the victim of identity theft. Because the risks are so high, it's vital that you protect yourself from these horrendous programs.
What is Spyware/Adware?
If you browse the Internet or read email, your computer is at risk of being infected with Spyware or Adware. You don't have to download anything to become infected; you merely have to perform normally daily Internet tasks. Once infected, Adware and Spyware programs transmit your personal data to the users who infected you. Everything from credit card numbers to your social security number can be taken from your computer. Once they have your information, what happens to it is up to them.
How We Tested
We knew Adware and Spyware were serious problems, but we didn't realize the extent of it until we tested over one hundred computers that were supposed to be protected with antivirus programs and firewalls. Our tests proved to us that every single computer we tested was infected with some version of Adware or Spyware. In fact, every single computer was infected with more than one Spyware or Adware program. Then we started testing multiple Adware/Spyware removers and determined the top 5.
Our Top Choices
If you really want to protect yourself from Spyware and Adware, you're going to want to go with one of our top two picks - XoftSpy Se and SpywareBot. During our tests, these two proved to be the most reliable and the most comprehensive. The other three performed well, but not as well as our top two picks.

This one did scan quickly, but seemed to miss some of the Spyware and Adware infections. Their Spyware/Adware database does not seem to be as large as some of the other databases we tested. |
