Download these 2 "lavasoft ad-aware se"=free
Spybot s&d is also free...They both do great scans sometimes ad-aware will catch spyware which spybot s&d can't find and vice versa...
I also recommend winpatrol it's a small background program that doesn't scan but protects you from spyware being installed in the first place here are the links
Euhm space man AVG is good but not the best check your facts...
I recommend Pc cillin internet security suite that will also protect you from malicious threats like hackers...It's not only an antivirus program I had AVG once and i put both AVG and Pc cillin to the test for virusses i did a scan well too bad AVG failed the test since it only catched 2 virusses while pc cillin catched over 10 virusses and i had the virusses (safe) preinstalled for that test to see how good both work..Although pc cillin isn't free it is a good program for virusses and malicious programs like spyware,adware,malware and also protects against hackers and keeps your ip adress completely safe.Spywareblaster well i had it once till i heard about winpatrol which is alot better not only rated better by cnet but also by the users and myself it has alot more functions and it protects your pc better.
If you have the budget get an internet security suite which will protect you very well try to avoid Internet explorer since it is very fragile with spyware and spyware easily installates itself through internet..The most used and best rated browser with the most capabilities,security and add-ons (also faster then IE) is mozilla firefox!
Trust me it's alot safer then internet explorer!I have experienced it myself! This is the link --> http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Lavasoft ad-aware se -->http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Spybot S&D -->http://www.safer-networking.org/
Winpatrol -->http://www.winpatrol.com/
All those are freeware and mostly rated 4-5 stars by cnet download.com
I hope this helped you out

All of the following are free, and you need more than just Anti-Spyware. You also need Anti-Virus and a Good Firewall.
I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)http://www.grisoft.com/doc/289/lng/us/tpl/tpl01
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)
for further information on computer safety.

Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal is the best.......its totally free....and updates are released on a regular basis......and to couple with that, dont use Internet Explorer and use Firefox instead, which isnt prone to spyware/attacks like Internet Explorer.......
