spybot search and destroy is a good anti spyware program for free.

YAY! Now I have ant-virus software. Thanks. *insert kissy smiley here*

Thanks Matt. I'm about to download this for my comp.

Another good anti-spyware freebie is Adaware. There's a lot of overlap between it and spybot but each catches some stuff the other misses. Not a bad idea to use both from time to time.

true, unlike anti virus, you can use multiple anti-spyware programs. I use my Sbc Anti Spy and Spybot.
