  1. Review - Arovax AntiSpyware

    2.0.65 (Feb 7, 2007)

    This has been quite stable on my system. Like all the other popular free scanner/removers available it does not detect everything but is still worthy to use. Just because Adaware finds something Spybot Search and Destroy does not, should not imply Spybot Search and Destroy is not an essential piece of software. Same goes for this program. It has found instances that both SBSD and Adaware have failed to find during tests I have conducted. In relation to an earlier comment about real time protection Arovax has had for some time http://www.arovaxshield.com/ which is a good start in stand-alone "Immunization" products. When used in conjunction with each other they provide a Realtime/Scanner/Remover.

  2. Review - Ad-Aware

    1.06 (Feb 7, 2007)

    This program has always remained in my "Top 3". The plug-in / add-ons are a nice touch. Can't wait for the 2007 version. A Must. 5/5.

  3. Review - Spybot - Search & Destroy

    1.4 (Feb 7, 2007)

    Excellent program with many additional 'expert mode' features. Sadly it seems that many fail to double check/update their "Immunize" function after the initial install. Once updates are available, I feel.. if Immunization is in fact enabled, and there is an update for the Immunization Database, then the program should automatically update its Immunization feature. In addition, if the Immunize feature is not enabled fully (updates available) I feel it should be strongly suggested that it be re-checked by perhaps a warning message (similar to the message when you manually check it) without having to click the Immunize button. In the programs defense however... it seems most people are simply oblivious to the great tools and options this program provides.
    5/5

  4. Review - Microsoft Windows Defender (32-bit)

    1.1.1593 (Feb 7, 2007)

    Very underrated utility from Microsoft. 5/5

  5. Review - AVG Anti-Spyware Pro

    7.5.0.50 (Feb 7, 2007)

    Excellent addition to my choices for free spyware cleaners. 5/5
