If youre a single user then it's great. However when I tried Scrip Trap on XP home with multiple user accounts. It was ok on the administrator account, but would not enable for any of my other limited user accounts.

SpywareBlaster version 3.2

SpywareBlaster has a database which at the time of writing exceeds the 3000 mark. I recomend this highly for inoculating your PC, especialy if you use Internet Explorer. Don't forget to use Spybot S&D or Ad-Aware as nothing is 100% Infallible.

Ad-Aware 2007
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Top notch  qright

Ad-Aware 2007 version 1.05 SE Pers.
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

I've used Ad-Aware for some time and I like it very much, it's easy to install and use. There are regular updates to keep up with the latest threats. My only gripe is that in the latest version 'SE build 1.05' they have disabled the auto run option. which means that you have to run the scan manualy instead of it starting up when you log on to your account in XP. Apart from that, it gets 9 out of 10 from me.

I've used ZoneAlarm Free version for some years now and find that it has performed very well indeed. It not only meets my requirements, it exceeds them.
