Spybot Search & Destroy

So far one of the best free anti spyware programs I've found.

Don't forget Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) - it goes hand-in-hand with Spybot. ;)

Before installing any anti-crapware programs, don't forget to have a browse through this site to check it isn't 'rogue':
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm
It hasn't been updated for a while but it does have some links near the top of the page to forums and other sites that are more current. This site is probably the easiest to search and navigate:

A great run-through of a rogue application can be found on The Register, here:

A good website for information about freeware, is bleepingcomputer.com (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic3616.html)
