Hi,
I use several freeware on my computers for spyware detection. Spybot Search
& Destroy, Adaware SE, Spyblaster, and Spyguard, all are free and very good.
Several recommend the freeware of Zonealarm for the firewall and several
recommend AVG for anti-virus. There are many good freeware out there that
are just as good as paid for ones. I even have a few paid for ones that I
used in combination with the freeware, like Pest Patrol, Perfect Disk 6.0.
So it all depends on what your looking for that determines which is better.
You have to look at the functions and recommendations to determine what you
prefer. For me I used both.
