yes, but that is for spyware programs, you should do a scan with ad-aware, it says it is free to try on the site but it is free for home use, without realtime monitoring http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html
also i recomend spyware terminator for HIPS, and realtime monitoring i have used this for a long time and never had anything come up in a ad-aware of spybot scan

I love it. I run a small computer maintenance business and in my experience for getting rid of spyware it is the best program I have used. Not only is it free, it has other features that make it great.
It has the ability to "Immunize" your system, which basically blocks certain known spyware products from being downloaded with internet explorer.
It also has a couple of other programs built in that protect your settings and such from being changed by malicious programs.
In my experience it picks up more spyware, and removes it successfully, then any other product I have used.
It should be used with:
AVG Free 7.5 (Anti-Virus)

CCleaner (Registry cleaner/All Around cleaner)

Spy Bot almost never comes in first or second in tests where they throw every possible thing at it, but it has served me well.
It is a bit clunky in that you must select everything rather than triggering an automatic sequence. Which reminds me, I have to run it.
