I recommend Ad Aware and Microsoft Anti Spy. And get Spy Bot.
I also suggest Webroot Spysweeper, although you need to pay for it, it has a system detector that notifies the user when a program is added to a system startup. It's also a spyware remover.
I use Microsoft anti spyware which is excellent and it is free.
Lavasoft's adware is also very good. |
