There's also "A-Squared Free", "SpywareBlaster", and "SUPER-Antispyware".

SUPER Anti-Spyware is a really, really good program. You can also use Ad-Aware.

Lately I am recommending an antivirus program called Vipre. You can go t SUnbelt software and download a free trial. (to buy is only around 25.00) It actually found a key logger on our computer and is really very up to date!waving

Tips for spyware prevention:

1.) Use a secure browser (firefox)
2.) Run anti-spyware software regularly (Spybot S&D works well enough)
3.) Use Popup Blockers (AdBlock Plus add-on on Firefox)
4.) Use Script-blockers (NoScript, probably would be annoying to most people though...)
5.) Just practice smart browsing skills

And if all else fails...

Use linux :-P
