The Bottom Line	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.	Windows Defender is free and therefore should be a part of your desktop antispyware collection.	Vipre combines antivirus and antispyware technology in a fast and light application that also includes a worthy set of security tools.	Spyware Doctor 5.1 could be more aggressive in removing all traces of found spyware.	Norton AntiVirus 2009 hits all the right security notes, and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though for some, technical support may continue to frustrate.
