Anyone have a good (preferably free) program for finding and removing spyware? I seem to have some on my system, but can't figure out where it is exactly.

I have been using antiviral golden, I cant remember if it was free or not but I know it was not expensive either, works pretty good

I have Norton Anti-virus, Stop sign and Ad-aware on my comp. They seem to work well together. The Stop sign seems to be the best. Not free, but it seems to work well.

Using AVG Anti-Spyware right now. Free to download, need to manually update, but runs nicely in the background and is very light on resources. Got to www.avgfree.com and you can download it.

I use spysweeper... I got it for about $20 I think... I really like it... It found and eradicated stuff that Norton wasn't finding...

I have Macafee through comcast sometimes its a little slow at finding things then after a coupla days an update arrives and everything is fine again course comcast costs an arm and a leg it makes it really hard to be able to afford the parts i want I think it'd be worth the price if they'd throw in two lockers and a set of 456 gears to go with LOL guess that'll be on My wish list till the end of time GRRRRRRR

Then go to Trend Micro and and do the House Call free scan.

Then use Avast to protect it after that.

I've loaded a virus onto all the machines of the people who have responded to this thread. I'm currently reading all of your private e-mails.:D
And I don't mean to raise any concern, but Matt you may want to get that checked before it pops.

Hey! You can read my email, but don't be tryin to move in on that supermodel/government official/ princess I've been chatting with. I've already sent her most of my life savings to help her get her 25 billion dollar fortune released from her tyrannical uncle and once she can do that, shes moving here so we can get married. :)
