SpyBot Search & Destroy v1.4
Description: SpyBot-S&D searches your hard drive for
so-called spy- or adbots; little modules that are responsible for the
ads many programs display. But many of these modules also transmit information
about your surfing behaviour and more to the net. If SpyBot-S&D
finds such modules, it can remove them - or replace them with empty
dummies in case their host software won't run with its bot removed.
In most cases, the host still runs fine after removing the bot. For
a list of 'supported'
bots see the feature lists below. The Spybot-S&D interface is so
easy, that updates just require replacing a file of about 80k in size.
Those updates are distributed by my software mailinglist, at the authors
page and are also available from inside the programs update section.
Another feature of Spybot S&D is the removal of usage tracks, which
makes it more complicated for unknown spybots to transmit useful data.
The list of last visited websites, opened files, started programs, cookies,
all that and more can be cleaned. Supported are the three major browsers
Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator and Opera. Last but not least
Spybot-S&D contains some routines to find and correct invalid entries
into the registry.
Spyware Blaster
Description: SpywareBlaster 3.4 Spyware, adware, browser
hijackers, and dialers are some of the fastest-growing threats on the
Internet today. By simply browsing to a web page, you could find your
computer to be the brand-new host of one of these unwanted fiends! The
most important step you can take is to secure your system. And SpywareBlaster
is the most
powerful protection program available. Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based
spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted
pests. Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
SpywareBlaster can help keep your system spyware-free

Webroot Spy Sweeper
PC Magazine paid tribute to Spy Sweeper 5.0 for its superior ability to detect and remove spyware, in addition to praising the product for its easy–to–use interface. Spy Sweeper 5.0 combines significantly advanced proactive protection against the most damaging types of spyware – including system monitors, keyloggers and rootkits – with a redesigned user interface that allows consumers to easily install Spy Sweeper and then quickly "set it and forget it."
"The new face of Spy Sweeper is definitely attractive, and it remains a powerful tool for removing entrenched spyware and keeping new spyware off your system. This, combined with its updated, improved interface, makes Spy Sweeper 5 an antispyware Editors' Choice," said Neil Rubenking, lead analyst of PC Magazine.
Led by a greatly enhanced version of Spy Sweeper’s Spy Installation Shield, Webroot’s Smart Shields lineup also includes a new behavior–based Keylogger Shield, the most advanced shield ever included in an anti–spyware program. Webroot’s Keylogger Shield uses patent–pending technology to accurately identify and block all types of keyloggers with an extremely low degree of false positives. Spy Sweeper 5.0 rounds out its offering with improved behavioral–based identification and removal technologies to even more effectively detect and remove spyware that attempts to hide using randomization techniques or rootkit technology.
"With the release of Spy Sweeper 5.0, Webroot reset the standard for anti–spyware protection by incorporating proactive protection technology into a clear, easy–to–use software program. We are extremely pleased and honored that this type of dedication to innovation and excellence is continually recognized by top technology influencers like PC Magazine," said David Moll, CEO of Webroot. "We applaud PC Magazine for its own dedication to consumer spyware education and for naming Spy Sweeper one of the top anti–spyware programs available to consumers."
