| i've got spysweeper, but i find they all catch different things, as you'll know, but it does warn you if a program is going to change your browser settings, i'd buy it. use coupon code NPQVBCJ to get it for $19.95 |

| although i only use spybot at home and it does fine (mostly because i take most all necessary precautions when surfing), spysweeper was able to cure my work PC of spy/adware when spybot couldn't. whatever that's worth.

| I use all 3 of the programs you mentioned Mike, and Spysweeper is definently worth having. I would also use Spywareblaster as recommended by alan1476 to blacklist spyware.

| Well, I use Hitman Pro, it's free and combines CW Shredder, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spywareblaster, Spysweeper(trial), Spyware Doctor. Scanning time depends on having a host file or not (Spyware Doctor will scan this if present), without one it takes about 20 minutes to scan your computer. |
| cool, thanks for the info. might try this out.

| I use Stopzilla and ZoneAlarm. It is good. I use Spy Sweeper and McAffee on my PC that I am using now.

| I think SpySweeper is a worthy purchase for its scanning abilities, detection, etc.... But it is a bloody rip-off because you are forced to renew your subscription for updates. I mean I've seen it sold for $39.99 some places, bloody rip-off, I have no problems in paying that price for software but don't limit me with 1 year updates. I would highly recmmend Spy Sweeper it detects much more than Spybot S&D and even AdAware, plus it also manages to locate stray registry entries and left over EXEs that others don't detect. However, there are exceptions, there are cases where even S&D managed to detect stuff, and there are cases where AdAware SE detected stuff. I would personally use all 3 I had a mother****** of a spyware on my PC a while ago it was called Spy Sheriff - Spybot S&D managed to detect and remove it and even locate some entries that the 2 others didn't find (i was surprised). |

I'd like to be able to read the on screen instructions and prompts to make sure I'm selecting the right option. It has been a while since I've visited Hitman Pro but the last time I attempted to run the program there were no English versions.

| Yo- Ok - Received the Spy Sweeper program today - loaded it ok - registered it - it updated itself to the current version 4.5.9.709 - the only wrincle here is that it is good only for three months - then it expires - so the deal is not as good as it initially sounded- (btw-it did not find anything on my 'puter) Mike
