Bottom Line
Best anti-spyware software overall
Spy Sweeper is considered the best all-around anti-spyware program in the
greatest number of reviews because of its high detection rates and superior
ease of use. Although reviews sometimes say the competing Spyware Doctor can
be more effective, most reviews agree the two are close in functionality.
But Spy Sweeper's user interface is more clear and concise. While reviews
say its polished interface and solid detection make it a powerful primary
choice, reviews say you should consider supplementing Spy Sweeper (or any
other anti-spyware program) with one or more free programs. That's because
no anti-spyware software can catch every threat.
Pros
Antivirus protection is certified by independent labs. Multiple layers of
protection prevent installation of most malware. Did a good job of cleaning
up malware-infested systems.
Cons
Better at finding malware and stopping it dead than at preventing it from
installing in the first place. Keylogger protection lacking.
