I’ve written before about Trend Micro’s excellent free online anti-virus scanner. Now they are offering a free anti-spyware scanner [1] as well. This one is not online; you have to download the 1.7MB file and then run it on your PC. It works just like McAfee’s Stinger program in that there are no signature file updates so if you want to run the program in the future you have to download the latest version of the full program once again. It’s a pretty competent anti-spyware scanner and will fix any problems detected. It’s well worth the download even if you are already using another anti-spyware product; two opinions are always better then one. While at the Trend Micro site why not try their free online anti-virus scan as well? It’s accessible from the same page as the spyware scanner. It will only work with Internet Explorer but Firefox and Opera users can use this [2] version.
