Every Internet user needs at least two softwares on their systems. One being the Anti-Virus software and the other being Anti-Spyware software. In last few years, Internet users saw less virus threats when compared to Spyware threats. Viruses are known to cause serious problem with your overall system’s health. Spywares, on the other hand, can reveal lot of sensitive information from your system. Below mentioned is a list of some of the most popular (not in any order) Anti spyware softwares available in the market.

» Ad-Aware SE Plus – Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE is a fast and easy to use anti spyware software for Windows. It detects and cleans more spy wares than any other similar product. The auto update feature keeps it up to date which is very useful. The interface is easy to understand and pleasing. It’s highly recommended for your system.

» Webroot Spy Sweeper – This software requires minimal interaction and automatically updates itself from the site and it’s even capable of running on Vista. We are not sure how well are it’s capabilities to remove spywares from your system as the trial version had its limitations. However, the interface of this tool is very easy to understand and first time users will find it very easy to work with.

» Spybot – Search & Destroy – One of the best and free anti-spyware softwares available in the market that does pretty good job of cleaning spywares from your system. The software is often found to be freezing up when scanning the system and sometimes even locks the system. You may want to give it a try and check it out yourself.

» Spyware Doctor – The free trial copy of Spyware Doctor is not going to help you much with cleaning the existing spywares on your system other than providing real time scan and very fast full system scan. The full copy of this software does a very solid job of detecting and cleaning spywares from your system though.

» Microsoft Windows Defender – It’s a great software that performs very well when compared to other tools listed here. It has a scheduler that lets you schedule system scans at regular intervals and you can also change the security settings to let the system run applications that were previously blocked by Defender, which we found was lacking in other tools in this category. It’s highly recommended tool for your system.

» eTrust PestPatrol – Pretty decent performance, easy to understand interface makes this a nice antispyware tool that you can give a try. Lack of a feature to ignore certain applications from being marked as spywares is not good but overall it is a nice tool if you consider its other features.

The interface is pretty easy to understand and also features extensive help if you shall need it. Highly recommended but be advised that the real time scan can slow down your system to a certain extent but may not be noticeable if your system has plenty of memory to work with.
