spyware

Many people think they are safe using the spyware program you have right now

i have done these tests to show my results

I usually always run adaware pro and take off about 6 objects daily

but tonight i tried something different,

i ran
spysweeper
XOFTSPY
and
adaware

i found before removing anything that,

adaware found 0 objects in about 30 mins
spysweeper found 32 objects in about 44 mins
XOFTSPY found 36 objects in about 20 mins

i think this proves you need to have more than 1 spyware detector, there was 2 objects that showed up on spysweeper but not XOFTSPY

all where updated right before i started

i also just got POP UP inspector and i love it, it blocks some of the very common spyware and of course blocks popups

spysweeper has the shields that i think some what help but still some stuff gets through
