Shaun Garrod Shaun Garrod

With computer viruses and other such nasty things that will only bring harm to your PC like Trojans, malware, adware and so on, there is a type of infection which your computer can get called spyware. If your system does become infected with spyware, then removing it can be a real pain at times. Indeed, prevention in the first place is far easier than removal. This article looks at where to find free spyware detection software.

Free software with spyware removal and prevention

When it comes to having to choose which security software to choose from, it can often be a daunting task in deciding which one is best for you. With a marketplace that can seem overly saturated with paid for products, there are a number of free alternatives that will do an equally good job in helping you to get rid of spyware. A number of free anti-virus software solutions also come with spyware removal and prevention functionality. The following section shall look at the four of these below: AVG Free AVG Free uses very few system resources compared to some of the other options available, making it ideal for people with slower and older machines. It also has a spyware remover and protection built-in. Avast! 5 Free Edition Released by Alwil, this offering is also quite low in terms of system requirements used, and is again a great choice for lower-end machines. Avira Antivir Whilst very good in its own right, people who are not particularly computer savvy might not be able to configure this correctly to get the best out of it. Microsoft Security Essentials This Microsoft protection integrates itself into the Windows environment. For those who don't like stand-alone applications and prefer to have an offering that seems more integrated into the operating system, this this might be the one for you.

Dedicated spyware removal software

Whilst the previous list of software applications all included anti-virus software
built-in, there are many applications that specialise in the removal of spyware alone. Whilst there are a number of different spyware detectors out, there really is one king of the bunch. This is Spybot - Search & Destroy. It has exceptional tools for removing, detecting and blocking spyware. Other functionality also includes an adware scan and a remover.
