Ashampoo AntiSpyWare
Perplexing software!
Pros: It's a difficult program to rate. I got my copy a few months ago for $9.95 (cheap enough) It has 3 skins, one does match my themes on both Vista and XP Pro. Using it on two systems would be nice with the cost per at $5.00 each. It has a huge signature data base if around 1,25 million as of today, It has found a few real nasties and some cookies, some treatments left me wondering.
Cons: Can't say I care for Ashampoo as a software vendor. They send plenty of spam. Running comparisons with Spy Emergency 2007, I found the latter more effective. System scans are slow on both systems and theres only about 40 GB used disk space on either. Active shield gongs which is a pain in the rear end so I don't run it with the shields, used as a back-up scanner only. As a back-up anti-spy program, it's OK but I can't recommend it as your primary anti-spy app.

Good Value for Money
Pros: The layout of Ashampoo AntiSpyWare is very simple and is appealing to the eyes. It certainly is not resource hungry unlike some applications. I like the attachment that the program adds to the sidebar for Windows Vista. The scan itself was very thorough and was able to detect spyware that my previous anti-spyware did not detect. I was surprised how good it was considering the amount I paid for it.
Cons: The scan could be faster, but if you plan ahead and scan your computer when doing something else this should not be a problem.
