Publisher's description
From TheSpywareShield :The Spyware Shield goes above and beyond your typical spyware removal software and actively monitors which programs are running on your computer. If it sees a spyware or adware program trying to start, it will stop it dead in it's tracks. It prevents any program from changing your Internet Explorer Home Page without your permission. Which means that spyware authors can't direct you to their own Web sites where they can infect you with even more malicious programs. In addition to these proactive methods, the software also contains smart adware and spyware scanning techniques that let you scan your entire system any time.

The Spyware Shield

ridiculous false positives; uses inadequate detection scheme; same app as Ad-Purge Spyware Remover, Froggie Scan, Privacy Crusader, SpyShield, & Spy Reaper.

If download(.)com cared about user safety this would not be here.

Version: The Spyware Shield 1.6
"Very good antispyware software"
Pros: theSpywareShield version 2.0 is an excellent choice in antispyware software. It's user interface is very simple and especially liked how fast it is at scanning. V2.0 is not available on download.com as of this review, however, it should be shortly. If you want the latest version, go to thespywareshield.com site and download it. That's were I downloaded mine.
According to some internet research, Webgrrl is paid to give bad reviews and advertises her services on download.com. Very poor form. I would not give much credit to her reviews. They are uninformed and for the most part, inaccurate. Gives other female surfers a bad name. Check this download.com link out for further information on webgrrl. If you do a Google search for download. com and webgrrl, you will see that she is paid for giving negative reviews.
