The 2011 Counterspy Antispyware released for the New Year has shown itself to be an optimal choice for spyware protection, offering various tweaks and additions to ensure enhanced and maximized security.

Our testing of Counterspy Antispyware has proved the software to be much better than expected, providing a 100% protection rate against testing spyware introduced to the software. This proves to be by far the best results in antispyware.

The installation process of Counterspy is quick and easy without failure in any of the 3 core security functions.

The newest release of STOPzilla is sure to be a pleasure, offering the durable and dependable protection internet users seek these days from their antispyware software.

The core protection functions of the software passed all of our tests without question. Any spyware or other malware introduced to the software within testing PC’s, including Trojans were quickly detected and handled without error.

With the convenient features of STOPzilla, most settings and functions are easily accessed through the web browser toolbar installed with the software, with a user interface that is quite easy to navigate and use.

The technology and innovation found with Webroot antispyware products have long been known for excellence. There was even once a time when Spy Sweeper was known as not only the best antispyware product, but the only one available on the market against spyware.

However, today is different, as there are many different competitors that are bringing the heat in the market of spyware defense.

While Spyware Doctor has been a high ranking antispyware in the past years, there is software that now beats its performance and features.

The user interface of the software has been rated average. Installation of Spyware Doctor Antispyware is very simple, and there are various features that ensure a solid antispyware product that is quite attractive.

There are, however, issues with the core antispyware functioning of the product, as Spyware Doctor doesn't seem to be faring well through tests.

Unfortunately, while expectations were high for SUPERAntispyware, the testing cycle proved that the software is average to poor in performance. The results that were hoped for were not met, leaving this software as one of the least successful of all tested.

Real-time protection offered through the software wasn't as thorough as it should have been, with only around 40% of all spyware and adware introduced to the software detected. Detecting Trojans and other forms of malware was just as unsuccessful.

Installing the software yielded no issues and was easy to do, with average resource usage that was lite enough for adequate use of the PC during operation.

Amazingly, SpyZooka is guaranteed to be 100% effective in protecting against spyware and malicious threats.

Unfortunately, this claim is highly unwarranted as it was found to be one of the poorest performers of all tested in 2011.

SpyZooka Antispyware was only able to detect one of the many spyware samples tested, and even worse, detected none of the various Trojans tested.

The makers of Double Anti-Spy Antispyware, Avanquest, also make many other security and Windows utility applications.

However, if Double Anti-Spy Antispyware 2011 is any type of representation of their products, it isn't likely that they are going to please.

Double Anti-Spy was not only ineffective in detecting and blocking Trojan and spyware threats we downloaded to the test PC, but also had consistent failure in protecting the PC.
