New Anti-Spyware Downloads Available

I've updated the downloads page to include more software to keep your system running smooth.

I've included links to my recommended anti-spyware programs:

  • Ad-Aware
  • Spybot Search & Destroy
  • Microsoft AntiSpyware
  • Pest Patrol
  • Webroot Spysweeper

I've also included SpywareBlaster, which isn't a spyware cleaner but it immunizes and prevents spyware from getting on your system. The list includes free and commercial with free trial periods.

Commercial enterprises require a less labour-intensive way to keep spyware off their client workstations. There are a number of enterprise anti-spyware suites that are administered from a centralized server. This enables a network administrator to manage and monitor all of the spyware activity on the network, reducing downtime and bandwidth usage, and keeping malicious software off user's computers. If you are looking for an anti-spyware package for your network, feel free to contact me.
