    In your opinion what is the best Anti-spyware product out there to keep your machine clean from horrible nasties?

    My favorite is ewido 4.0. This clears everything in it's path and most importantly it detects and removes objects that other anti-spyware software don't even trace. Overall it is a class piece of software and it updates two or three times a day.

    I use a combination of a few. Windows Defender, Spybot and Ad-Aware. They are all free too. :) Ewido is pretty good also.

    I use Spybot and Windows Defender too but I find them kind of frustrating. The updates for Spybot are few and far between and Windows Defender never picks up anything............ever! :confused:

    But then again they are free products so you can't complain that much ;)

    My 30 day trail for ewido is actually up but I like it so much I think I will purchase the full version :)

    Yep I reckon Spybot should be updated more often but well they only money they work from is donations I guess. I haven't had any spyware problems in sometime.

    Yep, seems like a labour of love.

    Spyware Doctor is suppose to be very good too.

    When my trial ran out I used manual update and there were files available to update at least twice a day (bar weekends). I have the full version now and it updates automatically. I highly recommend it :)

    Ad-Aware, Spybot and Spyware Doctor are good for me, but no matter what product you try, they all pick up something that another product did'nt. Its a personal choice really.
