I just discovered spybot from http://www.spybot.info - its totally free (donation-ware) and runs like a charm! I loaded it up and scanned my system and found almost 60 problems, and this is despite the fact that I run lavasoft ad-aware and bazooka adware at least once a day.
Spybot also lets you 'immunize' your system. I set it to "ask for blocking confirmation", I was shocked when I went to hotmail and it blocked multiple spyware installations.
This is a great little tool, I highly recommend it to everyone. And, no, I am not associated with this in any way whatsoever! I am just sick and tired of all the auto-installed spyware and other crap us adult surfers have to deal with.
cheers,
Luke
