Spyware blockers.

Can anyone tell me which (if any) spyware scanner/blocker is reliable and can be trusted? Here's why I ask... I first downloaded "Spyware Nuker" then Earthlink's
"Spyware Blocker" when I ran it, it listed Spyware Nuker as spyware, "which may install programs on the user's computers without the user's knowledge" I then scanned with with both "Spykiller" and "Spyhunter" they both listed a multitude of spyware, but DIFFERENT on both scans, also Spykiller listed 12 adware cookies... found from who else... Earthlink Spyblocker. Any questions?

Thanks.

Welcome to TechIMO!!!!

Get ad-aware or spybot . I have used both and I personally like ad-aware better but again they both work really good. They don't stop spyware from entering your computer they just find it and delete it

Thank you for your replies.

Someone really doesn't want me to protect my computer... Gremlins?
