Anybody have an opinion, good or bad, on a anti-Spyware software called CounterSpy?
I’d never heard of this product until your post.
This review is not especially flettering.
This one, on the other hand, gives it top marks. Look at this table also, and read the whole test for even more information.
Personally, i use a few free utilities and i haven’t had any malware on my computer for a long time.
I use:
Microsoft AntiSpyware
AdAware
Spybot S&D
Spywareblaster
AVG AntiVirus
I also run a hardware firewall (router) and a software firewall (ZoneAlarm), and use Firefox as my browser of choice.
What mhendo said. I think you’re better off with the MS software compared to that, since they’re pretty much the same thing. With that, and the utilities mhendo listed, you can get protected for pretty cheap.

CounterSpy is basically a rebranded version of the Giant antispyware. The same Giant antispyware that MS bought and is now giving away for free. It’s great stuff, but there’s no reason to pay for it.
