Good AntiSpyware?
Hi Anyone know any good antispyware programs?
I have found some stuff with XoftSpy but without paying for it, i'm stuck with the pests.
Sfonditalia - Dialer
New Dial - Dialer
Media Motor - Adware
FileSpy - Keylogger
Exploit Child Watchdog - keylogger
Winpcap - networking stuff but potential route in.
But i've already tried :
Ad-Aware SE Personal
bazooka adware and spyware scanner 1.13.03
counterspy
Steganos AntiSpyware 2006
spyware catcher express
super antiSpywarePro
SpybotSearch & Destroy
Spyware Doctor 4
CA eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware
SpywareKill_TRIAL_LITE
Trend Micro Anti-Spyware 3
MyCleanerPC 1.0.24
All to no avail!

So once the trial version finishes, does it have any advantages you know of over the current free AVG product. That seems to be far better than the McAfee I have on another machine and has regular updates?
Whenever, McAfee updates it always seems to really slow me down and I just get the impresssion it is a lot more "clunky", so are tempted to scrap it in favour of AVG on all my machines.
Any thoughts, comments appreciated.
Regards,
Ian.

@Ellies
AVG is mainly if not all anti-virus software, i'm not 100% sure what Ewido is but the others i have mentioned are antispyware.
And in this cold dark world of 'playful computer programers' that we live in, you definatly need both.
Does anyone else wanna try XoftSpy, see what they think of it? Its supposed to be one of the best, with no false possitives.

Hold on!!! I'm wrong lol..
AVG does an anti spyware now too!
Ewido is now AVG!
Tried it and its not found the stuff.
F-Secure online scanner found nothing either!
SatDish said:I'm not sure what to think anymore!be carefull some spyware/virus programes say you got stuff on your pc just to get you to buy the software
I've always found XoftSpy to be good in the past. It found a CWS highjacker that i picked up and nothing else could find. I hadn't paid for it back then but used HijackThis to delete the CWS.
And to make things better Sky have closed my fault ticket.
Spyware and slow connections!

Have you tried Google searching as this might throw up some results that might help. This is how I managed to get rid of a rogue dialer on my brothers old computer.
