Yup, spybot is nice, I run ad-aware as well.  They work quite nicely.  Good luck.

Mozilla is nice but it has quite a few vunerabilities which none of the anti-spyware protects against (they're all focussed on IE).

Do not let spyware be installed and you do not need to clean it up.
Local isp is now recommending this after a through testing.

Spywareblaster, Spybot and Ad Aware work well for me.
Just use them all.
The Opera Browser is much less vulnerable than IE, as well as having nice features like integrated resumable download. It's also freeware.
Good luck :)

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I've just had to switch to Firefox on my dad's computer.

Was over here to have some peace and quiet and use his machine for some computer based accountancy exam revision and the thing just would not work. Managed to get Kapersky's Anti-Virus on there and found 96 different viruses. After killing them and deleting alot  of files in the process, IE no longer works too well, so I checked out Firefox - works like a charm.

Used Webroot's Spy Sweeper from a magazine coverdisk to kill the spyware. Looking healthier now.

Right, back to work.
