Ad-Aware

It's a "free trial" for 30 days, I believe, the "totally free" times are
over for Ad-Aware.
As Joanie suggested "SuperAntiSpyware" is a very good substitute (originally
introduced by Heather van Figgs) and I use "a-squared Free" in addition
also, as mentioned by TomV.

I'm pretty sure there is a free version for that one but I can't really say
for sure as I stopped using it when the 2007 version came out, too many
hiccups with it.
Have you had a look at SuperAntiSpyware Paul, there is a free version and a
paid one. The free version can only do a manual scan but the Pro version has
real time protection, I use the Pro version and find it very good but that
runs on XP I have the free version installed on my WinME machine and neither
takes up too much in the way of resources.

I dumped it when became 2007 due to it not ever finding anything and
that the feature you have to pay to get still used RAM and loaded with
Windows. Does Superantispyware ever find anything?

I suppose a lot depends on your surfing habits on whether it finds anything
or not.
If it finds anything on my box it's usually a couple of tracking cookies but
a lot of times it finds nothing, but then I also have Windows Defender,
there's not a lot that can get to my machine <g>

I guess I don't need it, then. Nowadays I do all my surfing with Ubuntu.
