Spybot: Search and Destroy
Spybot is by far one of the number one anti-spyware software on the Internet. It's main attraction is
that it is free and is frequently updated with new versions coming out every couple of months. There are also
many articles on the website that talk about other types of spyware.
Hi-Jack This
Hi-Jack This is very similar to Spybot: Search and Destroy, but is meant for more advanced users. It has
very many features that is difficult to use, but once mastered it can pick out and eliminate many of the spyware
that other anti-spyware software might miss.
Microsoft Anti-Spyware
This is Microsoft's anti-spyware program and although it is still in it's beta, it is another alternative to the many
different anti-spyware software out in the market. Also going to the Microsoft website is a good idea to update
your operating system to the latest patch.
Windows Update
Not really software, but an important tool to stop open cracks in your operating system.
Norton Antivirus
One of the most popular and constantly updated anti-virus software on the market.
