Alright boys and girls. If you have a Windows PC chances are you have spywar/adware/malware and chances are it has gotten on your very last nerve...or else you wouldn't be here. We have taken the liberty to comment on what we think are the top 5 program out on the market. You have to pay for all these programs despite the fact that they provice you with a free scan. In all honesty, they are worth the money. There's a reason why the free programs are actually free! Please note that I've taken down the prices. A lot of these companies have promotions every now and then and therefore my prices were sometimes out of date. So we just left the free scan links up there. Get yourself the scan, see if you like the software, then purchase it if you like it.

XoftSpySE |
By far the most popular anti-spyware/adware program online. Winner of countless awards and Vista certified. Rave reviews everywhere online, this one picked up almost all of the bugs! The stories that we've come across from people about this product are impressive. This product is by far the most superior after our tests and research and that is why we are giving them our top spot! |

Owned by the same company as Xoft. These guys know how to make the software. This one is also great. Similar interface, just a difference method. It seems to pick up a significant amount. |

NoAdware.net |
Solid program. Very thorough scan. Picks up the overwhelming majority of the bugs. We are not big fans of their website, but they do indeed produce some pretty good software. |

SpywareBot |
This program has worked for many and has a very high effectiveness. We aren't huge fans, but it seems to get the job done. A lot of the other authors here liked these guys, but the consensus was that they still had quite a bit of work to do. |

Cogen Anti-Virus |
This is an Anti-Virus Program, and not a simple adware/spyware program. If you want an all-round utility, download this. But I suggest the others if you specifically have adware/spyware problems. (Note: A reader just emailed me a coupon code to get 25% off this software: CE687AC1 It's valid until May 31st) |
