 PestPatrol 4.2 Reviews. Internet security and firewall Reviews by CNET.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
PestPatrol includes a sophisticated scheduling feature that lets you set up scans in advance so that you can, say, let your system scan while you sleep, and it has separate program modules that detect spyware cookies, scan for key loggers, and perform active scans for pests residing in your system's memory.
Overall, PestPatrol's scans were faster than those of most of the antispyware applications we've seen.
However, the help file integrated into PestPatrol was not as friendly as some of the other programs we tried; it can be a little hard to find exactly what you're looking for, but if you try hard enough, you'll find that it's usually there.
