A quick and to the point review of PCtools anti-spyware:nnHow does PCtools compare with the rest of the anti-spyware in the market ?nPCtools is the best, I have personally tried and tested Mcshield, Trend micro … PCtools is the best in both protecting your computer as well as having the least performance impact on the processing.

Will PCtools protect and remove all the spyware on my computer ?nYes, it is remove most (90%) of the spyware, but not all. Download and install a free version of ‘super anti spyware’ - which will be able to remove most of the spyware on your computer. Trust me, it is not a rogue wave, the free version works pretty well.

Will PCtools slow down the performance of my computer ?nTo some extent yes, but if you bought your computer anywhere in the last 5 years, the configuration should be good enough to run PCtools antispyware without much impact on the performance.

Why should you buy a buy a anti-spyware ?nThere are lots of free anti-spyware, but very few of them really work and remove the spyware on your computer. Infact there are equally good number of rogue-antispyware which promise to remove spyware, but they are spyware themselves.

Here is a listing of all the rogue anti-spyware, so pls stay away from installing any of these:n[…]nnHow is the support ?nI am not too sure, you judge yourself with my experience with PCtools support : my laptop was infected with Trojan. FakeAlert on Saturday evening and I created a ticket with PCtools online, I even uploaded the results of a malware detective utility that came with the scanner - there was no response from them till Monday morning and when I checked the status of the ticket - it was in closed status. They did not even let me know that it was closed.

However, on Sunday I had resolved the issues myself by using the free Super anti-spyware hence did not worry too much about followin up with them.
