Trend Micro Anti-Spyware - Download Trend Micro Anti-Spyware to Remove Malware

Trend Micro Anti-Spyware professes to be able to remove spyware from your system using its updated database of definitions. Besides scanning your system, the software also includes a real-time element that "monitors your PC for spyware-like tactics" so it can theoretically stop spyware and adware for which it does not currently have definition files.

Trend Micro Anti-Spyware also includes a privacy element where it can quickly remove cookies, Internet Explorer temporary files, history elements, and more.

Although Trend Micro Anti-Spyware costs money, an evaluation version is available for free on their web site. Note that as of July 16, 2005, the software is only for sale in North America.
