Props to the effort put in on this software called Spy Guardian Pro. It sounds effective, but I am just not sure it holds a candle to Microsoft’s spyware removal tool. The big concern that I have with the trial is that you can see your spyware files after a scan, but are unable to remove them. If they were smart, they would offer the trial on a time limit. Thus, actually offering a REAL trial period to test it out.

Scan and remove any spyware programs on your PC, and help protect yourself from password stealing and identify theft. This anti-spyware program will detect any spy programs, including password stealing programs, chat and email logging software, keystroke loggers, screen capturing programs, and various other programs that log your internet activity. It also allows you to find and remove browser helper objects (BHOs) which may be running in your browser, allows you to monitor and remove programs that are running automatically in the background when your computer is rebooted, and will show you everything that is found. It also allows you to monitor all executable programs, so you will know if any new programs are added to your system or your startup without your authorization. Additional features include the ability to view all files recently accessed on your system, and it displays the amount of memory being consumed on your system. You can even choose to run Spy Guardian Pro in complete secrecy so no one knows you have this on your computer. (Runs on ALL Windows systems). [Get the links]
