The program catches a lot of malware that other programs sometimes miss, so that’s why I have mentioned it here.

I’m willing to pay companies like Kaspersky a yearly subscription fee because they do an excellent job, but I really don’t think SUPERAntiSpyware is worth $20 every year. The paid version is $20, but it’s a yearly fee. A lot of these older programs have gotten better and better over the years and that’s why you keep hearing the same names over and over again.Īgain, the free version does not include real-time protection, scheduled scans or automatic updates. SUPERAntiSpyware is another spyware/malware removal program that has a long history. In the paid versions, you can also get email protection, which is really useful to avoid those nefarious attachments that can infect your system. They do have several paid versions ranging from $24 to $50, but you get a lot of protection without having to pay anything. The best thing about Ad-Aware is that it supports real-time protection in the free version! Just about all the other programs require a paid version for real-time monitoring.

When installing Spybot, you’ll be asked whether you want to be protected automatically or whether you want more control and feedback from the program, so pick the option that suits you best.

Spybot has been around for a very long time and has a very good track record of finding and removing spyware and malware. However, the real value of the program is in the real-time monitoring and protection available only in the premium version ($25). Overall, it’s a great product and can really help you remove any pre-existing malware on your system.

The big downside to the free version is that it does not include real-time protection or automated scans, so malware would not be blocked from installing itself onto your system and would only be removed once you ran a manual scan. The free version includes anti-malware, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit protection. One of the best tools for repairing malware infections is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
