Just wanted to share another GOOD spyware program called:
SpyBot - Search & Destroy 1.2
I found it in PC Magazine and they showed a chart that compared it to all the other spyware programs. I downloaded it and it has many more features than the other programs, not to mention it CLEANED my computer (I had old programs that I could not uninstall through the control panel)
I suggest reading the FAQs and the Tutorial on their site to understand how it works (not complicated).
It even has a Permanent Internet Explorer Immunity function that prevents specified spyware from getting on your computer! A cool BLOCKER!
(Please keep in mind no software program is perfect, but this is a good one - make sure to read about how not to delete certain program files as it picks up a lot of things on your computer
)
