- Sunbelt CounterSpy 2.0
- In its first appearance, CounterSpy was the only antispyware product that correctly identified every piece of spyware in our current active-detection test. It did very well in active scanning, on-demand detection, and complete spyware removal. We also like its overall look and feel. CounterSpy also costs less than the competition...

- The remedy for spyware...not anytime soonPoliticians Bamboozled AgainWhy are they listening to the adware and spyware companies? Spyware should be patently illegal and adware should only be installed if the consumer is made completely aware of the consequences of installing the software. The definitions are not that difficult.

- CounterSpy is cool, FavoriteMan is not
- Last month, I reviewed CounterSpy, a program from Sunbelt Software, and am pleased to find another capable utility for ferreting out spyware. I have become very skeptical about new spyware-removal programs, because so many of them are scams, but I already had an idea CounterSpy would work since I'm familiar...

- Spy Sweeper 5.5
- Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 offers little change from our previously reviewed Spy Sweeper 5.3. What is new are the CNET antispyware test results that show SpySweeper rising into the top three, buoyed by strong on-demand detection and removal scores. Lowering the product, however, is the intrusion of a third-party toolbar...

- Ad-Aware 2007
- Lavasoft Ad-Aware 2007 came in dead last in our CNET antispyware testing. Other than sporting a new interface, this long-awaited update doesn't feel much different than earlier versions. What cripples this release most is that Ad-Aware failed to detect half of the test spyware, either actively or on demand, and,...
