With dozens of anti-spyware applications available on the Internet, how do you narrow it down to one that will work. Well that is what The Smiling Pirate is here for. We’ve tested several of the popular anti-spyware applications that are available and have collaborated with others in the industry to compare our results. We know that most people use popular spyware scans such as Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D since they have a proven track record for being able to remove nasty spyware and malware from you machine. However, both of these apps have been around since that later part of the 20th century. Technology has changed a whole lot since then and so have the malware writers. Sticking with either of these apps may leave you on the short end of the stick.

One application that has had some great results seeking out spyware on machines is SUPERAntiSpyware. Although it showed signs of greatness with its results, it is not perfect. What app is? At first, a quick scan attempt cleaned every infection it found but it did leave some behind. Scanning a second time removed all of them. A full scan takes a bit longer but removed everything that was detected.

SUPERAntiApyware has both a professional edition and a free edition. The free edition is 100% free and will detect and remove Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, KeyLoggers, Dialers, Hi-Jackers, and worms. SUPERAntiSpyware also removes many threats that other applications fail to remove.

The main feature difference between the professional edition and the free edition is that the free edition does not include real-time blocking or scheduled scanning. Download a copy of SUPERAntiSpyware and run a scan on your machine to test for yourself. Hopefully your machine does not have traces of spyware but if it does, SUPERAntiSpyware should take care of it.
