Go get it. Via Craig, the humble one, comes a recommendation for Spybot Search & Destroy. I loaded and dated it immediately (I deem "down" and "up" being redundant in the same sentence now) and found 43 little spy bot bastards on the hard drive. It has been moving slowly for some time and immediately picked up. Did I mention it is free?

Thanks. I should try that too. Spyware Doctor 2.1 seems to be working, and Ad Aware is supposed to be good too (both free at download.com), but maybe I should try em all to cover more bases.

I've been using it for months now. It's a great tool.

Take that! And *that*! And THAT! (beating little spywares about the head and shoulders)

Spybot found something AdAware missed :)

Just for kicks I ran Spybot today. It congratulated me on being spyware free. Way to go me!
