NoAdware
rating: 8/10
NoAdware is a basic spyware and adware remover that does a pretty good job. This software has a lightweight interface that is easy to use. There are no frills with this package, but it is still definitely better than nothing.
NoAdware offers the usual scanning and removal of parasites, but the scanning options are much more limited than the other products. It also offers protection via shields. This means you can shield from ActiveX, and you can shield hosts file, cookies, IE home page etc.
This product still did a top job in removing the spyware on my test machine, but the feature set is not yet up to the standards of the other products.

| The Verdict: |
Firstly I will say that NoAdware did a nice job in removing the parasites from my test machine. After about 2-3 runs everything was gone. I did not notice any reinfection after this.
This product is behind in its interface and feature set. The software is very basic and some users may have a bit of trouble finding how to configure certain options. For example, the scanning options and scan scheduling are a bit limited.
The good thing with this product is the shields that it offers, but again the configuration only allows an on/off type setting.
A nice product, but for the same money you can get much better value in XoftSpySE or ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware.

XoftSpySE (Full Review)
rating: 10/10
XoftSpySE was very impressive. This product identified all the spyware on my test machine and actually removed it.
XoftSpySE was able to get rid of the majority of parasites on first run, and they did not come back. Most of the other programs I have used will detect the parasites, but they return immediately on reboot. I will continue testing XoftSpySE with new parasites, but as of this point in time, It has kept my machine 100% clean.
XoftSpySE also offers exceptional value. A single computer license is only $39, and this now includes RegCure for free (retails for around $49). So you get XoftSpySE, as well as a great registry/error cleaning program. Thats hard to beat.
Price:
$39.90 - 1 computer + Free RegCure software
$59.90 - 2 computers + Free RegCure software
$79.90 - 3 computers + Free RegCure software
$99.90 - 5 computers + Free RegCure software
$549.90 - Unlimited license + Free RegCure software

ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware (Full Review)
rating: 9.5/10
For the price, I was not expecting much from ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware. Fortunately I was blown away. This product has the nicest interface out of them all, and is just so easy to use.
This product is broken down into two sections: the anti-spyware component and the active protection component. It does the typical scan and removal of parasites but offers an extra layer of protection to stop future infection, browser modifiction, hijacks etc.
I am really impressed with this product and it comes very close to XoftSpySE. If you need a registry cleaner, go with XoftSpySE. If you just need a straight anti spyware, then go with this product.
Price:
$29.95 - 1 computer
$49.95 - 2 computers
$69.95 - 3 computers
$89.95 - 5 computers
$695 - Unlimited license
