Use Ad-Aware I think its at lavasoft.com or search for it in Google. Thats the best one free or otherwise.

I prefer Spysweeper....works like a charm & is very good.

www.download.com has good free ones. I use Ad Aware and Spybot.

This is what Microsoft has:

Here is another one:

and yet another one:

http://www.safer-networking.org/microsoft.en.html

The other two are probably safe because I got the link from Microsoft's website (the bottom left corner of this page):

Spy sweeper has been great for me . Finds all kinds of things..

My trial is about up and I have no problem paying for yearly service.

Ad-aware isn't bad as Johnbuzz mentioned, but it seems to miss some things.....

i had just about every spyware i could possible have (687 traces) and i downloaded microsofts' antispyware beta program and I haven't had a thing since as it has real time detection. Just a voice of help hopefully. Stay away from from banner ads and pop ups, they all have browser highjackers,

I was just kidding with him.

just bought "spyware Killer" from Wal Mart. $6 and it seems to work well. Live updates included. I think I'm getting spyware from my homepage, YAHOO-those c'suckers.

Well if you can put 80 $ on a game you should be able to pay for Mcafee yearly service. Wipe your drive, save what you want and start clean. The best thing I ever did.
