    Which one do you think is the best of these 3 programs. they're basically the same except for the images and name. so is one better than the others?

    Giant Antispyware:


    Microsoft Antispyware:


    Counterspy:

    microsoft bought the source from giant, some of the people from giant went to work for ms on the antispyware proggy.

    Not sure where counterspy fits into all this but it looks and scans in the same way.

    I've just re-installed windows and currently don't have one (Not that it's particularly essential since I use Firefox) but I might try out that Counterspy one.

    I'll be sure to report back. Stay tuned.
