**Which SpyWare Adware is GOOD **

Now I have downloaded qeiut a few, and ran them, some cleaned, others still showing funny stuff, and of course to clean I have to pay.

Spy Begone, detected two items and deleted them.

AVG Anti Spyware, detected over 100, most were not too serious and got rid of all.

Web Root Spisweeper, takes hours to scan

Spyware Bot, detected porn dialers !! but I need to pay for it to clean, although the others did not detect any of that !

So my question, with your expertise, which is the best, and where should I spend my money, if I have to pay?

Thanks

Re: **Which SpyWare Adware is GOOD **

As I am typing, Spyware Doctor has detected over 200 infections from medium to elevated to high risk? Is this a GOOD Reliable software????

Of course for it to clean, I need to pay.

Re: **Which SpyWare Adware is GOOD **

i don't want to be guilty of jumping the gun, you may want to double-check spyware warrior and make sure that spyware bot is a legitimate programme.
rogue programmes will lie to you and tell you that you have malware, when you don't, to trick you into purchasing their harmful programmes.
here are programmes that i know are legit:
1. spyware doctor
2. spysweeper (i think is the best)
3. AVG antispyware (another great programme)

i don't know about:
1. spy begone
2. spyware bot

you may be getting spybot confused with spyware bot. spybot, also known as spybot search and destroy is a good legit programme. as i said before, spyware bot may not be legit. i will be checking that out myself.

spywarebot

spyware bot
with a space in between, i don't know about


spywarebegone is rogue

i couldn't find "spy bogone" listed

here's a link to spyware warrior, a well-respected official website, that tells if programmes are legit, or rogue.
