Anti Spyware Software
ByMost times, the only way to remove spyware from your computer is to install spyware software, or anti spyware software. This software will take care of that nasty spyware quickly.
Anti spyware software works a few different ways. They can either do a scan of your system to see if there is presently any spyware installed, or the anti spyware program will actively protect your system from spyware that is attacking your computer presently.
The first type of protection, the scan, is used for detecting and removing the current spyware that is installed on your computer. This is usually how anti spyware software works, and it is usually the most popular. You can usually do a quick scan, or a smart scan, which will scan only some of the files in your computer which spyware is known to regularly infect and install. The good thing about this is that the scan will find a lot of spyware, or most of the spyware fairly quickly. The downside is that the scan is not going through all the files in your computer. The other option is a full scan. The full scan takes longer, but it will scan your entire computer and maximize its chances at finding all the spyware. The anti virus software will run the scan in the background while you can still do work on your computer.
The other way the anti spyware software will protect your computer is through real time protection. Now, some software may contain each type of protection, or a combination of the two. Having both types is best. This way you can have your computer actively protected against spyware attacks all the time. A pop up window, a small one, will sometimes come up alerting you that a spyware attack has been blocked. It happens maybe once a day with my program.
With the addition of new spyware, anti spyware programs have to become increasingly good at detecting and removing spyware to satisfy the user. No one wants spyware on their machine, it steals your personal information and takes up bandwidth, ultimately slowing your connection and stealing your information. Make sure your anti spyware software updates itself automatically to the latest spyware definitions so it can properly defend your computer against spyware.

Well, despite being the most secure (and not by much, if any in my opinion) Mcafee and Norton products are the worst. While they will stop most viruses/spyware they are resource hogs and will greatly impact your performance. Norton is the worst at this, and it is hard to uninstall. I use free AVG now and have yet to be infected by any virus/spyware. Many people say AVG is not good at catching viruses, but many say it is. You could also try NOD32 which is very good, but not free. I’d stay away from anything from Panda as you could get better protection for free. When looking at reviews, many publications are simply advertising for a certain brand. You’ll see a lot of "such and such AV sucks" followed by "such and such AV is the best". Most AVs have free trials, so try them out and see which one you think is worth paying for. Or, go the free route.
For reviews I’d check otu http://cnet.com, they have an editors review and user reviews to check out.
The best advise is to use common sense. Don’t open e-mails from people you don’t know, only visit site you know/trust, don’t give away personal information. Use common sense and you don’t have to worry as much.

XoftSpySE was excellent. In addition to removing spyware, it targeted and deleted adware. It worked quickly and efficiently, removing 99.3% of spyware and adware on our test computer. Definitely the one to get!
