Answer 2

I use this product and its free and i have not been infected with any viruses or spyware after i installed it. best of all its free.

go to www.filehippo.com and download

Avast! Home Edition 4.8.1229 this is about 26 mb download.

I also use AVG Free Edition 8.0.138 which is also free on my other home computer. other then the interface(AVG is easier to use) and the download size, 46mb. both work fine.

also on Filehippo are the free antispyware

Spybot search and destroy and Ad-Aware 2008. Both are free and work great.

All these are free programs and do not have spyware.

Also, for protecting your personal info and files, use Ad-Aware 2008 Free Edition:

All of them are free, as powerful as paid programs, like Norton and McAfee, and don't use up as many resources.

Just boot into Safe Mode (Press F8 when turning on the computer) and run full scans.

Answer 8

1. spyware doctor - still one of the best out there but quite heavy on resources.  Its free version however does not have real time and removal options.

2. super antispyware - there is a free version (free version don't have real time just on demand) and has quite improved in its detection although it still produces a couple of false positives.

3. a-squared antimalware - Same with super antispyware but has a greater detection rate.

4. spybot search and destroy - a good free antispyware, not that high in detection rate although its "tea time" protection offers a good protection if you have a clean pc.

5.Counterspy - a good light on resource antispyware with high detection and removal rate.

Overall it is just a matter of personal preference but I would highly recommend counterspy on this department.
