windows defender at No 8.
Thats really shocking , and I thought its the most reliable.
I think I need to change my antispyware.

 

[go4saket]

Windows Defender whouldn't be at No.8 position but below that as I never saw it catching any spyware applications. I purpously installed a few spyware softwares in my computer just to check if or not the anti-spyware software catches it and Windows Defender was the only that didn't catch any. I personally feel Ad-Aware and Spysweeper are the best...

windows defender , IMO mustn't be in top ten. Still nothin can beat lavasoft

 

[anandk]

spyware doctor is my personal favourite.

windows defender , IMO mustn't be in top ten. Still nothin can beat lavasoft

In other tests I have seen Lavasoft got beaten by webroot

cud u plz gimme the link. Anyway webroot is paid, adaware per is free.

I use lavasoft adaware and spybot sd. Free and make a superb combination

shocking to see windows defender at such low position.... as i thought its the best in its class........

 

[aneeshmohan]

Windows Defender is better than any other antispyware.

 

[LegendKiller]

ZdNet and PCMag and all big companies always favour Zone-Alarm and i dunno why...and as for this rating i give balls to it!
ad-aware and especially Zonealarm is nowhere in anyone's top-ten list!
Za's anti-spyware is good more at prevention than is curing and detection!
In my view,
1.Spysweeper,
2.Spyware Doctor,Ewido
3.Spybot S&D,
4.counterspy/Ad-aware
5.Pc-Cillin Anti-Spyware,
Sorry this topten-review and other site s mis-lead you,goto pcmag.com or pcworld.com for better knowledge.

aug has changed things
some latest (aug) reviews etc suggest that that the evolving malware market have left adaware/spybot/WinDefender in the dust, now spysweeper, spywaredoctor, ewido rulz !

Do you really need antispyware?

 

[pushkar]

Yes, antispyware is as necessary as antivirus.

My personal favourite is Spyware Doctor. I dislike Windows Defender because it takes a hell lot of time to scan the whole system.
