Does anybody have a recommendation for a good anti-spyware program? I'm always reluctant just to download one on the theory that an anti-spyware program would be a good trojan horse. As far as I can tell, my antivirus program has done a good job in the past, but I should probably check specifically. -dan
i'm a mac guy, and most of this garbage is written for windows, but i've recently seen both of the following personally recommended, spybot and adaware: http://www.tucows.com/preview/310138.html http://www.tucows.com/preview/236049.html
versiontracker is probably also at least worth checking.

One must run two programs: Spybot - Serarch & Destroy and Ad-aware. Run Ad-aware after Spybot. Ad-aware must be updated frequently. One is free, as I recall. The other does not cost much.
