Education,

Seriosly there is no need for any antivirus/anti-spyware ect as long as you know whats out there and how to avoid it,

unless of course this is a shared computer?
Spybot S&D is still popular afaik

SpywareBlaster (Free)
Ewido (Paid)
Ad-Aware (Free)
Spybot S&D (Free)
Online Armor (Paid)

not many do read and reply strictly ON TOPIC and this thread will be no different.

its not one that i would recommend, read blackspears note above, they were putting out some pretty crappy results at one stage when i was trialing it, but in my opinion there are many others better qualified than this one, including ewido anti-malware and windows defender to name 2.

i dont use spyware detection/removal tools like these to stop spyware, they dont, and many cant remove what they do detect anyway.
i use spywareblaster and spywareguard to prevent spyware getting onto my pc in the first place. but every few months i scan for traces of spyware with ewido and win defender just as i do for viruses with nod32.
i never get any spyware nor viruses so its not a bother to me.

yeah it does m8 and any software listed would need to make a lot of improvements to their product to gain any kind of credibility again.
maybe they have now, i cant really say, but as i and others have mentioned, i would not use nor recommend it.
