Why Trust Your PC Security to Software that Would Trick You in the First Place?

We don't play games with your PC security. CounterSpy technology has been used by millions for effective spyware scan and removal. Spy Sweeper and other anti-spyware products offer free trials that scan for spyware, but won't remove any detected threats, unless you pay for the full version; it's a tactic called "Scan and Scare," and we believe it is wrong. If you want to see spyware on your PC, their trials are fine, but to remove spyware free, the smart choice is to download CounterSpy V2.

Remove Spyware without Losing PC Performance CounterSpy V2 is a powerful anti-spyware heavyweight that treads lightly on system resources, making long, resource-draining spyware scans are a thing of the past. With CounterSpy V2's small memory footprint, you don't have to choose between PC security and PC performance.

Better, Smarter, and Faster Than Ever

More powerful and effective than ever, CounterSpy's award-winning spyware detection and removal is now merged with VIPRE™ anti-malware technology to allow CounterSpy V2 to respond to today's increasingly complex malware threats more effectively than the competition.
