Spyware Reviews

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting Suncoast Scribe!

Anyone who uses a computer to browse the internet knows that Spyware (also referred to as Adware) is a valid threat to the average web user. Without your permission or awareness, Spyware sends your personal user data to websites so they can track your browsing habits and buying patterns. Some of the more malicious spyware pests can event record and send your credit card information and pout you in danger of identity theft.

I run combination spyware/virus removal software on my pc. I am reasonably satisfied with the job it does, but I wish I had read more reviews before purchasing it. That way, I would have been aware of the fact that it slows you system down noticeably. I’ve since found user reviews that agree with my observation.

I love to use review sites when I am shopping for something like a new flat panel monitor or choosing a hotel to book. Did you know you can also find Spyware Reviews online? You just have to know where to look. Check out Upickreviews.com. They have an entire section with spyware reviews, suing a side-by-side comparison format. They’ve also got reviews for other software products, several e-books and a host of web services.

I absolutely think you need to be running a good spyware program. Check out the reviews and make an educated decision as to which one you should purchase.

Angie you are totally right about Spyware removers. It became impossible for me to use my PC without one.

More worrying was the fact that I had sensitive business data on the hard drive. As a mortgage broker I had hundreds of people’s financial data on file, and, I began losing sleep worrying about it being stolen.

I wound up using Spyware Doctor, one of the reviewed packages, and Spyware Search and Destroy, a freeware program made in Denmark.

Both worked very well with a slight edge to Spyware Doctor for handling one or two uncommon and particularly dangerous programs. Search and Destroy is an extraordinary value and could be all that most people ever need to use.

Thanks for your service in publishing the review site.

Dennis
