It's free, and pretty good.

AVG the free antivirus people have just launched a free Anti-spyware programme that can be downloaded from www.computeractive.co.uk/2171355 :lol: Andy.

I find that I have to run both Ad-Aware and Spybot to clear the spyware as one program often pickup items that the other doesn't.

I use adaware se personal and i also have xoftSpySE..which is very good!!

Cheers all for your ideas.

I gave it a good blast with spybot & ad-aware and it seems ok just a little slow

Sorry I saw this thread a little late,

 

You could go to www.shorefix.com click on 'useful links' and theres a few tools that will help you out, try the free pc saftey scan from MS, it'll take an age to complete but it is very comprehensive, scans for viruses, malware, rootkits, invalid registry entries etc etc.
