Here are a few to choose from. Also below is a free tool to block spyware before it loads on your computer. You may also want to run the scans in safe mode after you install the antispyware applications and check for updates. To get into Safe Mode, reboot and then either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up.

Spybot-S&D Search and Destroy. The best and free although i make some small donation once a year for all the updates.
Since its acknodledged as the best there are many inmatators that try to use a similar name or make you pay for them.. Those programs are mere posers.

These are free programs. Bear in mind, the free versions are not as effective as purchased software - but if the keyword is "free" --
