I've had a hard time finding good reviews, so I wrote one. With Norton Ghost I had the same testing point each time, and compared results for the most popular free applications: http://www.vafrous.com/articles.php?request=3

The none of the four programs listed are on the rogue list. The first two have free trials but are not free to keep.
mix_master_mike, is that your website? Are you an affiliate for Spyware Doctor and Spy Sweeper? It's interesting that the one with the lowest rating is at the top of the list. I agree with your statement that there is no one solution for spyware problems. _________________ Former Microsoft MVP 2005-2009, Consumer Security

| Suzi, that is indeed my website. I have no affiliation whatsoever to any of the anti-spyware products in my review other than I commonly use them on the job. |

Thanks, that's good to know. We've had a couple of people post here who were affiliates of the programs they were reviewing which is almost guaranteed to make their reviews biased. That's why I asked. I looked around your site too - nicely done. _________________ Former Microsoft MVP 2005-2009, Consumer Security
