Filed in: Security — June 20th, 2004

FlexBeta has a review of spyware removal tools. They are AdAware, SpyBot Search & Destroy, Webroot SpySweeter, SpyHunder and SpyRemover. Among them, only Adware and Spybot are freeware.

Note: can’t find official website of SpyRemover.

Here is the result:

Surprise? There is clarification about the SpySweeter’s result.

Conclusion:
“One is not enough, two is better, more is best”

The author recommends that user use combination of SpySweeter, AdAware, and SpyBot Search & Destroy.

Thought:
I was using both AdAware and Spybot, they works great. Just now tried SpySweeter(30 days trial), it detected 89 traces after I ran AdAware yesterday.
