On of my workstations was HiJacked by a new trojan. Google search could not find any info on the Trojan, Trend officescan found the virus but could not delete nor fix.

4. Trend Micro Anti-Spyware 3.0

Trend Micro Anti-Spyware 3.0 ANTI-SPYWARE 3.0 (WIN 2000,XP)
Customer Review: Spyware Upgrade
Many people have previously owned Spysubtract from Intermute. Although it was one of the best anti-spyware softwares ever made, many of those owners are set to have a complete overlook to a new version of the spyware software. For those who did own Spysubtract before, you'd have to upgrade to Trend Micro Anti-Spyware 3.0. This software runs exactly like what Spysubtract did, and it delivers much better at detecting spyware, adware and a much more detailed glimpse at the cookies that target and sneak into your life and computer. This is one anti-spyware software I really recommend, it is worth the price.

5. eTrust PestPatrol 2005 Anti-Spyware

eTrust PestPatrol 2005 Anti-Spyware eTrust PestPatrol 5.0 offers Real-time protection from spyware, stopping it before it infects your systems.

Customer Review: Snowman
I installed Pest Patrol last year and it was fairly easy to use but I found the interface to be lame and the instructions confusing at times. When my subscription expired I tried CounterSpy which detected nearly 200 Spyware/Adware infections immediately after a Pest Patrol scan. CounterSpy also removed several hijacking problems that Pest Patrol did not. The CounterSpy interface is easy to use and understand is way ahead of Pest Patrol in this regard. I also use the free version of Ad-Aware and my PC has been running great. I run XP and have had no problems although I have heard of problems with other OS's.


6. Spyware Doctor 2006 [Old Version]

Spyware Doctor 2006 [Old Version] Customer Review: Spyware Doctor
Dose what it says it will. Works great and finds all the add ware and things you don't want on your computer.
Customer Review: Fine Job of Spycatching, but....
This software works great on a one-user account machine. On a machine with multiple users, it was very buggy. It didn't show it was running in the system tray on accounts other than the one is was installed under and it brought things to a grinding halt if you clicked the desktop icon on these accounts. Recommended for one; not recommeneded if multiple accounts exist on a machine.

10. Spyware Killer Pro

Spyware Killer Pro Customer Review: Useless software
I am glad I bought this as a "free after rebates" software. Tax money still goes waste. User unfriendly, lots of interactions with software you already have. Once the stealth surfer is running, you can not open a new website. The phone lines for Cosmi are always engaged and it takes them days to respond to an email.
Customer Review: Before you try this
Before you try this product to remove spyware and adware try ad-aware SE person or spybot search and destroy. You can locate these items at Cnet's download site www.download.com or at softpedia's website.
