Those are the top rated anti-spyware programs........ Not anti-virus programs....... but chances of getting a true virus are slim, the predominant problem on the web is trojans and other malware (MALicious softWARE )......

For Anti-Virus then Avira AntiVir and Avast are arguably the 2 best free anti-virus programs ,with extra protection.

Answer 6

A great spyware removal program should have the following features:

1. A HUGE threat database and a high killing efficiency. A spyware removal tool can only detect what is in it's database so you want to purchase from a company that CONSTANTLY keeps their software updated against the new threats.

2. Realtime protection such as ActiveX defense. Detection and removal are really only half the game. You need an antispyware program that PROTECTS you from future attacks.

3. Browser hijacking defense. Prevent your browser from being hijacked and bombarded with pop up ads or webpage redirections.

Before you purchase make sure whichever program you are looking at has these features. There is a list spyware tools that have these features at http://www.spyware-fix.net
