RE: Best spyware program

["Marlon Ngantung" <marlon () smartidea com>]

Some additional input from me.

Personally I used 3 softwares to deal with spyware/adware:
- Spybot (http://security.kolla.de/)
- AdAware SE Personal (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/)
- SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html)

* Those three sits on top of Norton Internet Security 2005.

To handle machine that was 'bugged' by spyware/trojan, I normally use
Hijackthis and StartupList from
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html, then use google to search
for all the 'weird/strange' program names that it found.

Just my two cents.

Regards,
Marlon

I am not sure if my answer is on track with what you are looking for, but I
personally am liking the Microsoft Anti-Spyware program. It may be in beta,
but I haven't heard anyone on my network complaining about spyware since I
deployed it.
