The Bottom Line	Spyware has evolved rapidly over the last few years, but Ad-Aware 2007 seems slow and has fallen behind the times.	Windows Defender is free and therefore should be a part of your desktop antispyware collection.	Spyware Doctor 5.1 could be more aggressive in removing all traces of found spyware.		At $20, ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is one of the least expensive paid antispyware option we reviewed, offers more features than other similar products, and remains one of the best.
