I'm looking for a decent free spywear blocker which will actually clear off any unwanted spy wear ect. So far the best I can see is a program called:

Spyware Terminator

Has anyone used this product before or not or have any other ideas for good spywear programs

Never used it to be honest.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free gets my vote, it is arguably one of the best and it's free.

Glancing through those articles looks like both programs are good at what they are meant to. Posieden any chance of a link to a user submitted comment site for the Terminator

Heres the Snapfiles user reviews for the Terminator one for you. Hope it helps out.

Sypwear Terminator User Comments

Looking at both of them there isn't much in it between the 2 maybe one has more features then the other which puts it one step above the other. Will work on a features list for both programs now

Thanks tom

The other one has

- Detect and remove spywear
- Will scan your PC for at least 1 miilion different threats
- Repair Broken Internet Connections
- Real Time Protection
- Ability to schedule runs

To me this one looks better feature wise and the other looks nicer in presentation. However there isn't much between the 2

With these things the crucial thing is how much spyware they detect and how good they are at removing it, features almost mean nothing.

Both of them state on there websites that they can detect over a million threats. Unless you spend hours hunting your not going to find an exact number to compare them

Thats my point, what they say and do are two different things.
