Spybot S&D. I can't remember the website URL but if you Google it, it'll turn up.

Try both. I find Adaware finds more than Spybot.

no! Spyware Search and Destroy will NOT get rid of spyware! it only temporarily disables it and doesn't touch your regestry, which will cause spyware to return.

the only truly working spyware program I found was Bazooka Spyware Scanner. download it at http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/index.html?source=appvisit
