The hardest thing to do is to find a free spyware removal tool that actually does everything it is supposed to, and works perfectly fine. Most spyware removal tools claim to do a lot of things but until you actually get spyware and test out the program, you cannot be certain, or sure about the performance of the application.

The best place to start is a website that provides a free download service.

Let’s start with CNET Download.com. In my eyes, this is the big daddy of all download websites. I have personally used this website hundreds of times, but to find an application, and to read reviews and comments on programs. Since Antivirus, Spyware Removal and Firewalls are all very important, they have their own section, click the link on the left side of the page to go to Antivirus, Firewall, & Spyware. While you are there, check out the top featured application, they usually are very trustworthy and very effective. I then narrow it down by going to Spyware Removers, and sorting it by showing only the Free applications. Then, to make it easier on your part, sort it by most downloaded at the top.

By doing these simple filtering commands, you can easily pick something that is popular and effective. In this case, the more popular, the better it usually is. If the program has a large user base, the company will be more inclined to send out updates to the definition file. A definition file is something that spots the spyware on your computer, is it essential that it is up to date.

After I choose a couple, I read the CNET Review of the free spyware removal application. This will be a huge help when deciding which is best. Sometimes I look at the user comments just to see what the general public is saying about that specific application.

By going to this one website, you can find everything you need. If you feel better going to other free download websites such as Tucows then go right ahead, they also have a great free spyware removal section. FreewareFiles.com also has a great adware and spyware removal section.

I highly suggest that you take a look at all the websites I just listed for you. You should be able to pick up two or three different free spyware removal tools to put into your computer. Running them weekly will ensure your computer stays clean from all spyware.
