The Pest Patrol program is a very useful anti-spyware utility. However, you need to be aware that while it can be used with screen readers very effectively, it does require some use of the mouse and is definitely not for beginners.
The following information was obtained from the Pest Patrol Website. PestPatrol for Home Users
PestPatrol is a powerful security and personal privacy tool that detects and eliminates
destructive pests like trojans, spyware, adware and hacker tools. It complements
your anti-virus and firewall software, extending your protection against non-viral
malicious software that can evade your existing security software and invade your
personal privacy.
These pests often lurk silently on your computer until something – or someone – sets them off. When that happens, you could lose passwords, personal data, credit card numbers, and - if you telecommute and connect to your office via a VPN - open up a back door for a hacker into your entire company network.
PestPatrol Home Edition is designed for Home Users and Small Businesses that are not operating on a Network.

The Following review was obtained from the Anti Trojan Reviews Website.Pest Patrol
This program does a lot more than detect and remove trojans; it will also
detect
spyware, adware and a variety of other undesirable pests. Since we last
looked at
this product in 2002, it has improved markedly and is now an attractive
option for
those seeking broad spectrum detection rather than the highest level of
protection.
However if you want to detect the tools used to create trojans as opposed to the trojans themselves, then PestPatrol is easily the best product of those we reviewed.
Used in this role, it is a valuable tool for IT departments for scrutinizing end-user's PCs.
