SpywareBlaster

Version: 3.5.1

Prevents spyware & adware from getting in.

Pros: SpywareBlaster is entirely unobtrusive,and it uses no memory at all once it has immunized your system against adware and spyware.

This a must have application.

CounterSpy

Version: 1.5.82

Active Prevention and Real Time Monitoring? Cool beans!

Pros: CounterSpy offers many powerful layers of protection from outside threats. In addition it has an extensive array of what they call 'smart agents', which monitor in *real time* (even in the trial version!) an extensive list of processes on your computer, to provide you a truly deep level of security.

It also has a lot of really well thought out and very handy system tools, which I have found to be, both easy to use and effective.

Of course it also scans for and removes spyware, but my computer is clean right now apparently, and none was found. No false positives! The scan was of quite reasonable speed for being so very thorough, and I have no complaints about that at all.

I wish I could write a review which does it justice. But I only know enough about antispyware apps to feel confident saying that the people who developed CounterSpy have really made a huge contribution to internet security.

They have also presented CounterSpy in an attractive user friendly package. I feel both grateful 'and' a lot more secure. I can't believe this gem costs only $20.00.

Cons: None that I have found.

Spy2Bust

Version: 1

Cripple-ware of dubious parentage

Pros: NONE

Cons: Testing by experts at Spyware Warrior revealed that this app is ineffective at prevention, having allowed several common threats through, and in addition it will not remove any adware or spyware until purchased.

You do not need this junk.
