SpyBot has been in my top 10
magic list for years. It is
one of the
best applications to remove spyware
and other rubbish that has been
installed on our pc. As usual, you
have to know what you are doing when
you remove spyware, otherwise some
applications may not work
afterwards.
Malwarebytes Anti Malware (freeware
and shareware)
As we can see on the
antispyware test of
MylovelyApps,com, MBAM AntiMalware is one of the
most effective antispyware on the market. It is very
effective not only in spotting spyware, but even in
removing it completely, without letting traces on
the pc.
Malwarebytes AntiMalware is free for removing
spyware/malware, but is shareware if you need the
real-time protection.
For a few years the only free
software able to remove spyware, has
become commercial, although it still
gives the option for a free download
version. The free version is no
longer as good as Spybot, however it
is still respectable.
A-squared free well behaved in the antispyware
comparative that I made some time ago, resulting the
best between free apps. It has less configuration
options compared to competitors, nevertheless
this could even be considered as an advantage, since
this resolves in a greater facility of use (anyway,
no real-time protection in the free version).
