Chapter 7: Choosing The Best Anti Spyware Tool

The bottom line is, "Which is the best possible anti spyware tool for me?"

The answer is complex. There are several things to take into consideration now that you've done all of the necessary research to learn about the spyware options you have. Take in all of this before you make a decision, though.
More Than One

One thing to consider is to have several anti spyware tools available to you to use. Here's the thing. There are some good free anti spyware products out there. After you've done your research and know which ones are acceptable, it can be helpful to pair several together.

Why do you need more than one? As we've mentioned, definitions and updates change. Some may have more advanced or even more specific solutions than others do. Some may look in other files than others. Some are more selective while others are more complete.

Pairing a couple of programs together can often help you to find the best solution. If you do go this route, make sure that you've done your homework. You want to make sure that any product your download is actually clean of spyware itself.

If you do this, you'll also want to be selective in which programs you choose for cost reasons. It would be pretty expensive to download three or four programs that cost $50 each. Instead, look for high quality lower costing products and pair them together.

This is also a good way to get more for the money you plan to invest in this search for anti spyware products.

Having more than one product can be helpful, but let's first plan on getting just the first one done so that you can start protecting your computer.

Find The Experts

There are some excellent webmasters and bloggers available that take the time to meticulously download, run and then review software tools. This is an excellent tool for you to use. They usually offer their services without cost with the sole purpose of educating you.

To find these authors, just do a Google search for spyware bloggers. Then, visit their website and sign up for their newsletters or their RSS feed. Why bother doing this? It's simple. They review products that are available to you.

They take the time to do all of the comparison work for you.

It's a great way to learn more about what's out there and to be able to compare one anti spyware program to the next, in black and white.

When you visit these websites, many of the bloggers or webmasters actually provide a reviewing system for the consumer. Find one or two of the best rated anti spyware products.

Even better is to visit several of these websites and get a good idea about which ones are the very best overall. The ones recommended by several are even better.

One thing to consider about these, though, is that these reviewers shouldn't be making a commission from selling one or the other product. Look for an honest reviewer to take advantage of.

Make this part of your decision process. It gives you not only information about your options but also the expert advice you need.

Price

Let's face it, cost matters to most of us no matter what the benefit of a computer protection level is. Cost should play a role in the type of anti spyware product you purchase.

Remember this rule: Not all free anti spyware products are okay to use. But, the most expensive anti spyware products are likely to be no better than another other product.

You are looking for something in the middle. Here's what you want to consider in relation to the cost of any anti spyware protection tool.

What does the program offer in the way of protection?

In price consideration, it may be cheaper to use a detection and removal tool that can be found right online without cost. But, what you truly need is a tool that will take this to the next step. That is, it needs to protect you in real time, as we've discussed.

If it does not provide this, it is likely to cost you much less. But, if you can't remember to weekly (or more often) visit the location and run the spyware, you are in a potentially risky situation. If you can count on running that type of a check often, then this low cost may be beneficial.

How Do You Get Upgrades?

The next important consideration is what type of updates you can get. If you subscribe to a service, you may be able to save yourself some money in getting updated signatures and definitions for the anti spyware program you install.

We've talked about how programs are updated and why, but the question is, how does this effect your cost of the program. Of course, a program that provides constant monitoring is going to be more costly. But, the updates on these programs usually happen as they are available. Other programs will need you to visit manually to make them happen.

Since most people would have a hard time remembering to visit and get the necessary upgrades, you'll want to carefully consider how this will affect your specific needs.

It may be worth paying a bit more for the protection of updates that happen automatically. That way, your computer is protected against constant spyware threats. There is no doubt that you need to have these downloaded to the software tool you are using. Don't skimp on this as an old, or un-updated or under- updated product is useless.

Is It Part Of A Bundle?

Some anti spyware and anti adware products are actually more affordable if you purchase them with other software products that you need.

For example, you may find that your Internet Service Provider may provide a free spyware and adware scan as part of your subscription to their service.

If you choose to use a program like this, spend a few minutes looking at who the company is and what type of quality the product actually has. Many of the leading ISP's are now offering this as an additional service.

Is it cheaper, though? Often, you can combine the anti spyware and anti adware products you are selecting along with anti virus products. This can be quite rewarding if you are looking for both tools. You definitely need to have these on your system.
