Spyware Detection

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

When avast goes to detect of spyware? Since it possesss detector of adware, thus it could be very better.

2

It already does… (Adan-XX/Spyware-Gen/Adware-gen/some Trojan-Gen/some others that don’t use such naming method)

Avast! can detect some spywares, but if you want a greater protection against Spywares, I recommend Ad-ware and Spybot:

Spybot: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Ad-ware SE: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5

I recommend that too.
SpyBot has also an immunization feature and Tea Timer resident, Ad-Aware free has none.
Preventing baddies to get into your computer is what counts. Crazy to need cleaning them up with on demand scanners, but sometimes they are needed too.
