Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Stay away from Spyware Eliminator get SpywareBlaster.

[[Even putting aside the controversy over the Aluria/WhenU deal, we simply
cannot recommend an anti-spyware scanner that bundles adware, as the
UControl scanner does, given that there are a number of excellent
adware-free alternatives available to those looking for an anti-spyware
scanner (1, 2). In this judgment we are completely consistent with our
earlier decisions to list other anti-spyware applications that are
adware-supported or that install spyware. Neither can we recommend Aluria's
Spyware Eliminator in the light of Aluria's partnership with WhenU, for all
the reasons elaborated above. ]]

SpywareBlaster
[[SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from
ever being installed.
The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And
SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.]]
