If any adware or spyware items are detected during a scan, you are provided with detailed information about the offender and can choose to delete or quarantine the item(s). In addition, Counter Spy includes tools to erase Internet tracks, securely delete files, explore advanced system settings, automatic database updates, scheduled scans and more. The program also integrates with an online community (optional) to report new spyware findings.

Excellent program 5 stars by Fuzzy55 (Read all my 3 reviews)
This is just very, very good. I have tried others but for me this has to be the best, very simple to use first rate detection and removal, is not a system hog in any way, as already said will warn set to work with your Antivirus, but will no work with Kaspersky, then again as far as I know no resident Antispyware that monitors will work with Kaspersky This is a Top class product be in no doubt, and the 15 day trial will remove unlike most others. Full funtion trial is full function. Try it, I don't think you will be disappointed, just Excellent. showShow review details
Clean system 5 stars by Greytata (Read all my 6 reviews)
This comment concerns version V3.xxx of Counter Spy. I am a Counter Spy user since V2 - for almost 2 years - and let me tell you that this is the best antispyware product I have ever used. And version 3 is even a better bet, as it is even more simple to understand and configure and computer resources are even less used by the program. I can tell you that on a regular basis, V2 used +/- 50 mb of ram and V3 barely touchs the 25 mb mark. Impressive gain. In terms of protection, well...my computer is clean since day 1 of CounterSpy. And for the price, CounterSpy is the best bet we can make. Never had a problem with CounterSpy instalation and even during instalation of V3, the setup warned that some of CounterSpy functionalities would not be turned on, in order to not conflict with my Avira anti-virus, which is already protecting the read/write function of each file. Great piece of software showShow review details
I love it! 5 stars by natalia
Excellent program.. removed several key loggers from my system. Great features.. has active protection and right now mine is set on "Paranoid" :P, several cool system tools like letting you see and modify the programs that startup automatically, and your current running processes, a secure file eraser and a lot more. I would recommend this program to everyone who has a pc. showShow review details
