BPS has basically ripped off Ad-Aware and Spybot. Why pay for something that you can get for free?

Well I was just wondering if it was better than Spybot or Ad aware, cause if it us better...significantly better, why not shell out a couple bucks, but if its just a rip off, your right...Thats just what I needed to hear, thanks glc.

Wow...looks like nobody likes this product. And they expect you to pay $29 for it? Unreal.

PC Magazine did a review of spyware removers this month and SpyBot came out on top. I didn't have a chance to read it real closely but everything indicated that SpyBot was well above the others.

Read it here
