Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Spyware is easily removed and free by downloading and running Yahoo! toolbar with Norton anti-spy. Download the toolbar, click on the cheesy bulls eye icon and follow the instructions. Just did it last nite myself, and it works great, but I have over 200,000 files of my hard drive and it took 44 minutes. The toolbar can then be uninstalled by clicking on the yellow crayon icon and clicking uninstall if you want to, but I've found it to be quite useful and just leave it on all the time now.
