   I have used AVAST and AVG and both a good. I personally lean towards AVG, you can get the free version @ http://www.grisoft.com and go to home version download. Thanks

   For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs……………

   Pick and choose at least 2 anti-spywares from the list below and alternate scanning with them on a regular basis. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

   Yahoo! Toolbar with FREE Norton Spyware Scan:

   Spybot Search and Destroy:

   Ewido:

   SUPERAntiSpyware:

   Windows Defender:

   Unfortunately, many “paid for” anti-spyware products are in fact either of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here:

   For spyware you should look for Lavasoft’s AD-AWARE program.

   you need at least 2 anti-spyware programs
   Try Lavasoft adaware, windows defender, superantispyware, spybot, spywareguard

   also try firefox instead of IE and log into windows as a limited user when using the internet

   the yahoo toolbar comes with norton antispy–that is nearly the best one, the others you have to pay for.

   avg is good, if you are looking for a full free virus program
   & ad aware is good as well, but that is for mainly to detect where the popups are-not anti spy

   I preferred to you first is spybot search&destroy is one of the
   best anti-spyware software.it is available totally free.then additional tools is also free & updates also free.But this size is
   upto 6MB. it is download from the

   http://www.safer-networking.org

   then, i recommended you to use ad-aware personal edition

   from the http://www.lavasoft.com

   it’s size is upto 4 to 5MB ,then freely available and free updates

   then i recommended you to use hijackthis from

   http://www.merijn.org

   it’s size is upto 300 KB,then it comes freely.

   thank you
