Running spyware tools are one of the best methods of removing spyware from a computer. However i would like to add a word of caution. At times the spyware programs would announce files which are not spywares but genuine programs. For example, when I installed a vpn client on my laptop, the spyware program kept bringing 2 files as spywares, while the files were not spywares. So you might also want to research about the file before deleting the file,otherwise genuine application might stop working.The best approach is manual selection and deletion.

Having said so much I would like to add that the best way is to keep spyware out of your computer. How ? Simple. Do not click on anything and everything you see. If you are a windows user, then create a user with minimum administrative rights while using the pc for day to day activities like surfing, email checking, etc. If you donot know to create a user, then just use the guest account. This will help as well.


Hope this helps.
