Windows Defender whouldn't be at No.8 position but below that as I never saw it catching any spyware applications. I purpously installed a few spyware softwares in my computer just to check if or not the anti-spyware software catches it and Windows Defender was the only that didn't catch any. I personally feel Ad-Aware and Spysweeper are the best...

Windows Defender is better than any other antispyware.

ZdNet and PCMag and all big companies always favour Zone-Alarm and i dunno why...and as for this rating i give balls to it!
ad-aware and especially Zonealarm is nowhere in anyone's top-ten list!
Za's anti-spyware is good more at prevention than is curing and detection!
In my view,
1.Spysweeper,
2.Spyware Doctor,Ewido
3.Spybot S&D,
4.counterspy/Ad-aware
5.Pc-Cillin Anti-Spyware,
Sorry this topten-review and other site s mis-lead you,goto pcmag.com or pcworld.com for better knowledge.

Yes, antispyware is as necessary as antivirus.

My personal favourite is Spyware Doctor. I dislike Windows Defender because it takes a hell lot of time to scan the whole system.
