A Very Important Message about anti-spyware software:
It is very sad to mention that this sector of Computing Security is a jungle. Not like others, anti-virus or firewalls. There are many bad or fake anti-spyware softwares out here that actually hi-jack your web browsers for one to try to force purchase to get your PC back. This is a must website to view before purchasing any anti-spyware software ! Note that there are legal liabilities for professionals in reporting bad software and this is a compliant website and very known at forums and groups:
Title: The Spyware Warrior List of Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products & Web Sites
Description: Bad, False, Fake products
URL: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
NOTE: Shareware is generally at a price. Freeware can come with bundles added with various adware offered at risk to user by people who do that. The freeware here has none of these and is called "Working Freeware". I give the term 'working freeware' noting that it is not "Trialware" which is usually a limited version software that expires, or ceases to function, after a set time - usually 15 or thirty days. Working freeware means just that - it is a fully operational software authored, in the case here, by various community help oriented persons that are very talented - I use them myself. These are offered by some as free who also have other softwares for sale - and are not bundled with adware. Some may also have a "premium version" (meaning for sale) activating a proactive version - running in background like anit-virus protectection. Generally, the working freewares have manual updates and manual scans - although some may also contain scheduled scans.
