Even though there are a number of programs to choose from contradictory information about which is best in terms of efficiency and good value, makes an informed decision a difficult one. All anti spyware programs block spyware but only a few are capable of both removing and blocking everything.

The full information about how good a program actually is never available from spyware companies, advertisers or reviews. Their information is sales based. So although they'll make comparisons and state why their recommendations are the best choice you'll never get to see any real data about how well the software actually blocks spyware.

Most available anti spyware programs are average or just above that; though some are next to useless. There's only a few that are really any good, which will provide genuine protection and security against all manner of spyware. But without benchmark tests, in most cases, it's just hit and miss based on the information that is available. We all want something that will just block all spyware but not many programs like that exist.

The best choice would have to be a program that blocks the most dangerous spyware as well as the ability to remove the difficult stuff. But without any real guidelines as to what anti spyware software should and shouldn't do it's a bit difficult to know what to base that decision on.

But of course price is also an issue; some anti spyware software can be quite expensive. It seems to be perfectly acceptable to pay through the nose for anti spyware even if it doesn't block all the spyware out there. It's not clear how some companies justify the price tag.

Choosing a program that provides what you need at a reasonable price is definitely the best option. Remember that the best software isn't always the most expensive and some of the cheaper ones block spyware just as effectively; in a few cases better. Have a good look around before you make a purchase.

You can opt for free alternatives and although some are highly effective they come with restrictions. But they can still be as good at blocking spyware as some of the paid software. Two such programs are: AVG Anti Spyware and Lavasoft Ad Aware. Both are very good choices that will remove and block spyware very efficiently.
