anti-spyware from microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

microsoft recently purchased GIANT anti-spyware and is probably going to incorporate it into the OS but you can download it here for free.

Hi juniperr,

Yes, I am using it too. It seems to always come up with false-positives. How is it working for you?

Tom

False positives? Im using it and so far, no problems (although it doesnt seem to be scanning cookies)

Tell you one thing, SpyHunter is one hell of a hoax, I scanned my PC with that out of interest and I allegedly have 431 items and should "Purchase the full SpyHunter program to remove these items"!!!!!

Yes, SpyHunter:

(enigmasoftwaregroup.com\spywareremove.com\spybot-spyware.com\

is considered bogus spyware removal software.

I am testing it on a couple of machines and it seems fine. My favorite would be spy sweeper from webroot though.
