Spyware Obstacle Course
II - anti-spyware contestsDownload.com occasionally has some great
articles, tutorials and advice in their Spyware Center. They've recently
taken the major anti-spyware tools and put them to the test. This time
Ad-Aware came out on top. One thing to remember is that having more than
one spyware scanner is the best defense. I usually recommend Ad-Aware SE and
Spybot
S&D with TeaTimer.

Quote from the website - This time around we've upped the ante.
We've chosen a different problem program bundled with even more vicious
spyware. Instead of the Unsavory Six from our last obstacle course, we now
have the Evil Eight. These represent both widespread and newer spyware
threats. Our antispyware contestants consist of some of the same big-name
programs, with a couple of new entries that have become popular. The
roster, in alphabetical order, is:
Ad-Aware
eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware
Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware beta
Spybot - Search & Destroy
Spyware Doctor
Webroot Spy Sweeper
eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware
Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware beta
Spybot - Search & Destroy
