Trojan Virus Removers 2006 - Overview

Overview
Spyware and Adware viruses have rapidly become the number one threat to your computer with over 90% of computers already infected.  These include "Trojans" (or "Trojan Horses"), Web Bugs, Monitoring Software and more.  Fortunately there are good Spyware and Adware virus removal tools available.  Sorting through them all to find the right one is a challenging task and an important decision to make.  We've gone through dozens and come up with a short list of the best.

Background - What is Spyware, Adware and Malware?

Spyware and Adware, also called "Malware", are files made by publishers that allow them to snoop on your browsing activity, see what you purchase and send you "pop-up" ads.  They can slow down your PC, cause it to crash, record your credit card numbers and worse.  If you're like most Internet users, chances are you're probably infected with these files.  Simply surfing the Internet, reading email, downloading music or other files can infect your PC without you knowing it.

Our Testing Results
In our random PC testing, every single one has been infected with Spyware and Adware - some with dozens of infections - even those PCs consistently using well-known Virus and Firewall software.  They are now Spyware and Adware free!

Bottom Line - What's the Best Way to Eliminate Spyware, Adware and Malware?
Use a good Spyware/Adware/Malware remover such as the ones presented below.  Using one that is at least moderately popular is a good idea because it has been tested and used by many users.  Each of the sites selected here fall into that category, although XoftSpy and NoAdware are the most popular.  XoftSpy detects the widest variety of threats, while NoAdware is the easiest to use.  XoftSpy has a very high satisfaction rate and gets the nod as our top choice.
