| The Bottom Line | Spybot is both free and adaptable for both beginning and power users, but it left behind several known spyware apps. | The free Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.4 offers many features, but when it comes to detection and removal, there are better free products on the market today such as Microsoft Windows Defender. | Windows Defender is free and therefore should be a part of your desktop antispyware collection. | Ad-aware SE is your best option for keeping spyware and adware under control on your PC. | Sunbelt CounterSpy 2.0 distinguished itself in a crowded field by providing a clean, institutive interface and great test results. |
