You have been asking similar questions for weeks! What gives? Why so insecure?

You have received a lot of information so far. You have all you need for peace of mind:
  • ESET Smart Security or simply NOD32 AV
  • Kaspersky
  • BitDefender
  • Online-Armor, Comodo or Outpost firewalls
  • Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • SuperAntiSpyware
  • Dr.Web LinkChecker
  • WOT
  • Online scanners from ESET, Kaspersky, BitDefender...
  • And more...
Stay away from porn sites, don't practice illegal file sharing, don't open e-mails from unknown senders, especially with attachments and links, and keep Windows and all your security programs updated. Simply use common sense when browsing the Web and you should be OK.

Again, I am not looking for opinions of the people from here about their programs but pages where I can find tests, reviews, analysis...

The only anti-spyware software you need is SUPER Anti-Spyware and maybe Spybot.

I have heard that it is better to have more than one antispyware program.

These 2 threads could be merged but they are not. They are mine and I decide if they are merged or not.

Actually, no, you are not the one to decide. TSG's rules are:

Multiple Postings - It is simply not acceptable to post your question more than once, or to post it in more than one forum. Choose the forum that your question or post best fits in, and place it there and only there. If, after posting, you feel it should be in another forum, use the "Report Thread" button at the bottom of the post and we'll move it. We also reserve the right to move posts to other forums and delete duplicates.

Whatever. I'm not a Moderator so suit yourself. Whatever answer we'll give you, you'll always be challenging us, as you've been doing for weeks.

There is the Spycar project, which emulates spyware intrusions, available here:

http://www.spycar.org/Welcome%20to%20Spycar.html

Note: I found this through Google searching for "antispyware programs tests". Google is your friend. Well, maybe google is not available in your language.

Spycar is a suite of tests, to see if your antispyware is working.
