Go to downloads.com and get Ad Aware (the Lavasoft version) and Spybot ... I think those are still free and some of the best.
Good luck!

You can probably get SpySweeper for 10 bucks on Ebay. It's by far the best.

Looks like Microsoft is beta testing a new antispyware program. Their programs are nice because they update and run automatically like antivirus programs.
Still free. (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/default.mspx)

I'm pissed that I downloaded that. Beta 1 was way better. I liked that "Track Eraser" function.

Ah, I didn't d/l that one. I don't even know about the track eraser function I apparently have.

Do what Chump said in #8. But before you do, right click on My Computer and go to Properties-> System Restore, and turn it off.
Otherwise, when all that shit that you clean out will come back the next time you have to reboot your computer.

Good point AHF, that's something Microsoft and all the AV companies should stress.

I use Ad-Aware and Avast Antivirus, and have never had a problem. Avast is really good because it scans basically everything that passes through your system (files, internet traffic, instant messaging activity, p2p, and so on) without hogging up system resources. But I haven't tried many others to compare, so there you go.

On a side note, you can get viruses and spyware from several sites. Once i was looking up jokes and I ended up getting 3 viruses, a trojan, and 50 spyware!!!
