Hey everybody,

Just a quick question:

Is there any software available to detect Spyware on your computer, and if so, what would you recommend?

Thanks so much, and BTW the site looks really good.

Got it !!!!! Easy to install and worked fast. For those of you who don't think you have spyware on your computer, think again, it's there. I was surprised to find over 444 files with potential problems.

Adaware detected and removed in a flash..

Thanks guys...........

the best (and most copied-adware is being sued by them....)is spybot search & destroy .and the best part is it is totally free - http://www.safer-networking.org/

Use them all. Some will find programs that others won't. Personally, I agree with Dave -- Spybot Search and Destroy is the best.

I have tryed many others and always come back to SPYBOT S&D.
Some of the others have caused more problems than they fix. "poor coding"
