A
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.
