text: Don't buy it! It sucks. If you want to buy one google "anti-spyware reviews" or something similar and and look for an unbiased rating site or blog; they tell you the good and the bad and the costs. I tried several and the best two I've used are both free downloads. One is Spybot and the other is Ad-Aware by Lavasoft. I just bought this computer Saturday and the security upgrade I bought with it has Spysweeper by Webroot. I haven't used it yet but I remember it being one of the best recommended on some of the blogs. XoftSpy and a couple of others I downloaded for a supposed free trial let you install it and scan for problems, then want you to buy it before you can remove or quarantine anything. Then you can't uninstall some of them. Be careful when using any of them; be sure you read the instructions thoroughly and just quarantine or be sure you can reverse the actions in case you accidentally delete something that is associated with a legitimate file. If you have system restore, be sure to create a SYSTEM CHECKPOINT before you run and remove stuff. I will save you a lot of headaches if something gets screwed up.
