About Spyware

Anti-spyware?

Is there any free anti-spyware that can be downloaded and after scnning of files, the infected files can be deleted. Every time I download an anti-spyware and when I try to delete the infected files, it asks me to purchase it so that I can delete the files. So what is the use. Please provide me with the link of any ant-spyware website which we can download for scanning and removing the infected files without purchasing?

1. Here you are: Pick and choose at least 2 from the list below. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

2. Jibber gave those that need money. Windows Defender is the one I think is the best. Good luck in protecting your computer~ ^ ^ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en
3. If you consider purchasing I highly reccomend Webroot's spysweeper. It's worth the price and they've got a great customer service/call center to assist with spyware issues.
