Spyware installed in your computer without any information or knowledge. It is a illegal program, which is automatically installed when you search any websites or from Internet browsing.

Like the recent plague virus still not bad enough, the Internet inundated with spyware and adware - programs that hijack your browser and unwanted software on your PC places. Reason for McAfee for its own antispam program it.

McAfee AntiSpyware encourages spyware removal and remove unwanted software from your system. In our tests it works great, although it - like other similar packages - but against spyware that it can not remove. We have a preference for Spy Sweeper, which help more features and better know with cookies.

If we visit sites or software to install our test PC with spyware trying to infect, it antispyware able to immediately recognize the threat. Some other programs recognize spyware only when you examine your system - if there actually may be too late.

Unfortunately, McAfee AntiSpyware no information on the suspect's program it finds, so it is difficult to decide what to delete and what not. Spy Sweeper and Pest Patrol score in this area better. And AntiSpyware is not up against stubborn spyware such as Cydoor RedV and after each restart again arise.

When an on-demand scan starts, you get a list of all suspect products. But if you click further into the details, you get only one hope unreadable data as Registry keys. This information is only useful for experts and not for the average user.

We would like a clear threat level and a clear description of each piece of spyware. McAfee states that this is the next on the agenda.

Please note that McAfee AntiSpyware is not the same application as Spam Killer Home - including McAfee - but itself be seamlessly with other products in the same house integrates. This seems also the main reason for McAfee AntiSpyware choice if you are looking for a separate package, you are better off with an application such as Spy Sweeper.

Go for antispyware support services which is common among computer enthusiasts in case you face any kind of problems with your computer.
