Okay, another quick question. What's a good free spyware program?

And by that I mean a program that detects, blocks, and deletes spyware, not one that installs it.

I use two.
Ad-Aware and Spybot.

Ditto here. Although if it helps, running Firefox as your browser cuts down on the need to use them by a good margin.

Hey Big! Welcome back!

Also: Firefox is very nice. Typically when I run Ad-Aware/Spybot I get a few minor tracker cookies and no actual spyware. It's helped a lot.

HOWEVER, and I'm not sure this is true with the latest firefox release(1.5.something), but there was a noticable memory leak that pretty much forced me to restart my computer if I had firefox running for too long/opened up too many tabs.

Firefox doesn't like me. It kickd my house and set fire to my dog.

Don';t use ad-aware.... it randomly deletes system files (I speak from experience)
