The ad promises to protect you from spyware. Do you believe it?
Andrew Brandt of PC World has a review of commercial anti-spyware programs. PC World did their own tests, and looked at spywarewarrior.com.
Stick with the free programs, they advise. The heavily advertised programs make misleading claims and sometimes even install new spyware.
I'll repeat my recommendation: AdAware and Spybot Search&Destroy. Spybot hasn't been updated in a while. It never hurts to run more than one anti-spyware program, because often one program will find something that another one missed.
