Spyware removers are as only as good as the user who uses it. That being said, choosing the right type of spyware software is very important. Download the wrong one and you can have a flood of spyware, malware and adware on your computer. Choose the right one and you will be spyware free.

So how do you choose the right type of software? There's only one word to answer this question: research. Everyone hates to perform research but think of it this way, do you want to spend a few hours looking for the best anti spyware software or do you want to spend thousands of dollars to fix your computer due to a complete computer crash. I'm sure that the answer is obvious.

Start Googling spyware results and you will come up with many different types of products. Remember to be cautious about fake software reviews. Fake reviews are completed by dishonest affiliates that create websites to push a product. Their reviews are very biased and should not be trusted. So what should you look for before purchasing or obtaining a spyware removal program?

1. Verify that the developer is credible

Before you purchase a product, make sure you know who the developer is. A good developer will have a contact page and will provide assistance for technical support. A lot of spyware "poser" softwares will not have a technical assistance page.

2. Verify the manufacturer

Does the manufacturer produce other credible products? Perform a quick search about the manufacturer to see whether the have other product lines besides that single piece of software.

3. Visit credible review website such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

4. Find software reviews from authoratative websites such as CNET and other "tech" websites.

Remember, there are a lot of fake reviews in "Google land" so it's best to go to websites that are trust worthly. If the website looks like it was built by a 5th grader, then avoid the review at all costs.

5. Search tech forums and browse posts to see what other people are using.

Talking to other people helps you get a general idea of what other people are downloading. Usually you can follow the majority.

Remember that you can download more than one type of software on your computer. If you don't like it, you can always uninstall it. However, make sure that the spyware remover that you do download does not contain malicious programming.

Pricing is important for all of us and you will want to get the most "bang for yoru buck". However, many spyware software today are free to try and free of charge. The best freeware spyware programs are malwarebytes and ad-adware. You can always upgrade these programs to get "live" coverage and scheduled scans. Upgrading is usually worth it for most people (I upgraded my software).

These are just a few research tips on how to download the best spyware removers.
