Default Best spyware software?

Tips? I've used spybot, but it doesn't seem to be working. Spykiller says it found 52 running processes and 22 spyware files, but the other "freeware" programs don't identify them or remove them...

Without spending $30 on spykiller are there any others?

I always use Spybot and Ad aware in tandem (make sure you do the updates inside each program) that works for me...

I also have norton antivirus 2003 corp edition at home I can give to ya..

I just used webroot Spysweeper and it seemed to work fine - it's the freeware version, but still cleaned / removed the files.... (most just scan for you then tell you to buy the product..)

I guess we'll see.

I also added spyware blaster which is supposed to prevent them from being added in the first place.

I use the Spybot S&D as Clint suggested. Seems to have done the trick at work, but I still have issues at home.

Ditto what clint said. Rich (3rdshift) hooked me up with Spybot, and have had no problems what so ever with it.

The best spyware killer is:

format c:/s

I hate freaking spyware, but ad-aware is putry good.

Ditto on what Greg said. Must obtain an updated version. Spybot S&D has worked well thus far along with the elimination of IE with Mozilla.

My Norton is expired, need updatification!
