Pareto Logic Anti-Spyware
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.

| The Verdict: |
ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware is the best bang for buck software that I have tested. It has a great interface that is very simple to use.
This product offers two levels of protection. One is the anti-spyware scanning and removal, the other is active protection. This added layer of protection is very important for preventing future infections.
The spyware scanning and removal worked well. It offers various types of scans (files, registry, processes), and it detected all of the parasites on my test machine and had no problems removing these. A scan will simply list all parasites with a threat level and you can then choose which ones to remove. Re-infestation of the parasites did not occur either (a common problem with other anti-spyware software).
The active protection allows you to set what kind of protection you require, from low-high. You can also monitor both windows and the internet. This stops things such as browser hijacks, browser helper objects, browser modifictions, network hijacks, windows startup settings and windows shell. Don't worry, its all very easy to configure.
I could go on and on about this product, so instead I recommend you just give their free trial a whirl and see for yourself.
Overall a great product. If you need just an anti-spyware product, then this is the one. However, if you also require a registry cleaner then I would go with XoftSpySE. This product also gives a 60 day money back guarantee, so if you like the trial, you can try the full version risk free.

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

NoAdware (Full Review)
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.
Price:
$37 - 1 computer
$57 - 2 computers
$77 - 3 computers
$107 - 5 computers
Extended download service $4.95 (36 months)
