PCTools products do get good reviews. The good thing is they have free versions of their products. They work great. Spyware Doctor from the Google pack is a must. I highly recommend it. I bought Webroots Spysweeper and spyware doctor finds stuff spysweeper does not. Having both is a perfect combo and I recommend running two anti-spyware products.

Its good to run two anti-spywares even if some extra resources are taken.
SuperAntiSpyware does an excellent job. AVG's full version gets great reviews.

Anti-Spyware for a cost.
Personally I bought Webroot's Spysweeper, their product is great and well worth the money. Watch Best Buy ads because sometimes it goes on sale for $10 to $15.

There are free anti-virus scanners availble. They work well. I like AVG and PCTools anti-viruses the best of the free anti-virus programs.
If you are not willing to spend money it is good to have some kind of anti-virus software

This is my recommendation for anti-virus. Free are good, but they are not as accurate as the top paid anti-virus software

Spybot Search and Destroy is a wonderful free program that finds spyware and trojan horses. It also allows you to download updates so that the spyware finder is current.

I reccomming utilising Spybot and Adaware to maintain you laptop sparkling from secret agent ware. No single software can come across and eliminate all secret agent ware that's why i prefer to advise utilising advert-conscious and Spybot (they're loose and the perfect). different super loose anti-secret agent ware classes could be AVG Anti-secret agent ware (formally Ewido) and great Anti-secret agent ware. Webroot secret agent Sweeper is the perfect, despite the fact that this is not loose (see the consumer seek source for comments of the perfect anti-secret agent ware classes). working those classes in secure Mode (faucet F8 after powering on the pc and decide as nicely to secure Mode) could be greater useful.

You can run a free online scan from CA.
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virus...
Run Spybot and SuperAntiSpyware weekly.
Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/...... . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run SuperAntiSpyware---http://www.snapfiles.com/get/SuperAntiSpyware.html
Now to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place....
Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html...
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.
It's main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
