Review Summary Windows Defender is free and therefore should be a part of your desktop antispyware collection. At $20, ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is one of the least expensive paid antispyware option we reviewed, offers more features than other similar products, and remains one of the best. Spyware Doctor 5.1 could be more aggressive in removing all traces of found spyware. AVG Anti-Virus 8 is solid at finding and removing viruses and spyware as well as blocking Web threats, but could be lighter on system resources and provide more technical support options. Vipre combines antivirus and antispyware technology in a fast and light application that also includes a worthy set of security tools.
