I'm sure one of you has experienced this. I once install a search engine tool bar from a site which made me angry a lot! Do you want me to name it? It gave my pc dozens of spyware and windows are uncontrollably popping whenever I open the internet. I've downloaded almost 9 different free anti-spyware but none of them worked and the worst was my virtual memory went too low even though I already uninstall them all.I finally decided to reformat my computer. A last option was made when I saw maxxstore.synthasite.com which recommends better softwares. I saw some anti spyware softwares. I tried one of their free trial downloads and to my surprise, it worked!

AFAIK, spyware are malware (malicious wares) and are not considered to be safe.You may want to ask on your title "is spywares safe?".AFAIR, there are no such thing as safe spyware..

Try Malwarebytes and avast or kaspersky antivirus they may work. I had a virus named ANTIVIRUS2008 because of this my system became worst,i got this through downloads only.Malwarebytes recovered my computer
