Anti-Spyware...

[undeleted_xp]

I only use NOD32, it handles the viruses and those pesky spywares.

I like the affliate links on the downloads.... Those reviews are flawed. The guy makes money off every purchase. Its obvious the greatest affliate money = higher ranking.

[Unbekannt]

Using Counterspy, Spy Sweeper, Spyware Doctor, Pest Patrol and Trend Micro AS. :)

[LIW]

Other - Spyware Doctor (with Ewido free running on demand).

[Guest klausindeed]

SpyDefense and SpywareBlaster. I havn't gotten any spyware in a long long time.

[SacredCultivator]

I personally love SpySweeper, even though I do not use the Shields provided, along with SpywareBlaster and SpywareGuard

[powder]

Spybot

[Bold Eagle]

Windows Defender, Spybot, Ad-Aware, Webroot, Pest Patrol (has a key-logger), Winpatrol, Spyware Guard and Spyware Blaster.

Probably outright overkill but I haven't found anything on this system for about 3 months!!

[Guest grandcommander]

Spy Sweeper,Spyware Doctor,Counter Spy,Trend Micro,Ewido anti-malware....... :D :blink: :D

[Nemesis]

hands down spysweeper with all the shields.

Actually I get no spyware, but I'm administrator of a computer that's used by several people, so...

I've been an user of Ad-Aware SE Pro for a time. Great results, but ad-watch has to be tweaked so it doesn't popup from time to time due to registry changes, etc. So I recently switched to Windows Defender, with very few popups and... so far so good.

[Doritos]

I use : Windows Defender,Ewido and Ad-aware SE Pro :unsure:

antivirus, nod32 :P

firewall, kerio B)

[Pako Jones]

NOD32 definitions files are updated with spyware signatures also.

Does anyone rely on NOD32 as antispyware?

[nsane]

i use it for my real-time protection, but for full scans i use an array of different programs :unsure:

I've seen Nod32 block spyware communication while I'm browsing the web.

I don't completely rely on it alone, I use SpySweeper as real-time.

And all of the above.

I don't get spyware very often, but I like to have protection just in case.

I'm a computer programmer and know about malware, you can't always remove them all

by yourself or with just one program. There are new malwares that inject themselves into

windows dll files and go un-noticed unless you have a real-time scanner to detect them.

I had a friend who thought he couldn't get malware with Firefox and never would use a spyware scanner, but he got that NSIS worm from updating a trusted extension. Now he uses one or two now.

Thanks. ;)

I used Norton but it sucks it's just like you didn't have any anti spyware. So now I'm using Spyware Doctor.

[JunkInternetMail]

AV:

Nod32

Spyware removal:

XoftspySE, Ad Aware Pro (anyone who use personal is just foolish), Spy Bot

superantispyware pro + Nod32

[marshall39]

Nod32 real time and Malwarebytes once a week

[*dcs18]

Find Malwarebytes'Anti-Malware quite effective against spywares, too.

IMO, when 'Others' form the majority the poll is begging to be widened. :P

We could edit this poll and add more options but this poll is from 5 years ago. :lol:

You could also start a new poll if you want but if you would like to propose new programs to add to this one feel free to let me know and I'll run it by the other staffers. ;)
