Spybot

Spybot is must have freeware. It seems to have caught spyware that breezed by my firewall and antivirus software. I am delighted to finally get rid of the super-irritating iGetNet stuff I could not figure out how to remove on my own (via All AgitProp, all the time...).

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if your browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies.
