Spybot and AdAware are always good and they're free. Microsoft has a beta antivirus out right now (OneCare) that's also free for the time being.

an excellent anti-spyware program that I personally use is trend micro anti-spyware , it is very powerful , it won't let any spy even think to do enter my computer , I started using the free trial , then bought a registered copy for a low price , check : http://astore.amazon.com/antispy-20  look for trend micro anti-spyware 3.0

Yes, "AVG free" is the one to go for.  I also use  "spybot search and destroy" and "PCrescue" with good results.  All are free

Better programs that I have found for spyware and adware removal are Spybot S&D and AdAware. Both are free and remove everything when used together.

Microsoft Antispyware is pretty darn good and it removes about 99% of spyware from a Windows PC (ensure it is updated regularly though).\nAdaware & Spybot S&D are very good as well if Microsoft Antispyware does not find anything.\n\nI would STRONGLY advise you install Anti-Virus software as well like AVG it's the best free Anti-Virus right now.\nYou cannot really get round the Anti-virus slowdown problem as they work by scanning each file once they are run to ensure a virus is not launched and infected into your system.\n\nIf you want virus free computing use linux :)\nI use OpenSUSE, it's really good!\n\nHope this helps.\nCheers!

Free and reliable spyware removers are: \n\nSpybot Search and Destroy  - get it at http://www.safer-networking.org\n\nAdaware - get it at http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware\n\nMicrosoft Windows Defender at http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\n \nOnce you download/install the programs, be sure to UPDATE!  This ensurees that you have the very latest protection, not just the latest as of the day it was archived!  \n\nAlso, for best results, pick up all three programs, or at least two of them - Don't rely on just one to find everything.  Some are better than others at detecting specific spyware types.\n\nSet your programs to automatic update, or remember to update them regularly.\n\nGood luck.\n\nWhat the heck, while you're at it, pick up an Antivirus program too.  Suggest AVG FREE at http://free.grisoft.com

For spyware solutions, Spybot is great.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en

All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - 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.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.
