Highly recommended anti-spyware software: Spybot Search & Destroy

This is a free application although they do ask for donations but this stuff found crap that even adaware didn't find (like I had XXX crap and a ton of tracking bugs - found it all even though adaware said I was clean as a whistle)

Make sure you download both the application and the update. But I was impressed with the software and wanted to share it with the rest of you!
