Anybody here can recommend a good spyware/adware killer besides Spybot? Free and not free? My computer has been infected with this weird spyware that has disabled me from checking my hotmail from home.

Thanks guys

Spybot should do the job. I've been using it and it works well, but has to be run manually on a regular or frequent basis.

I use adaware and it's free. Works well.
Adaware.com.

I use Ad-Aware too. Works well for me.

I use ad-aware also and it does the job.

On top of ADSL-firewall(router), software-firewall and Norton ......

I use them all : Adaware, spybot and Window-washer (WebRoot)

to prevent trouble comes in and get rid of unwanted stuff.

The system is clean (as far as I know ) and runs for more than a year now, without problems.

In addition to Spybot and AdAware I also run WinPatrol which has a free version at www.WinPatrol.com but you have to have a clean machine when you install it because it works differently than the others. What it does is to take a snapshot of your system at the time you install it and then it alerts you anytime something tries to write to your registry and asks you if you want to let that happen. So far it has alerted me several times when some malware wants to install something.

I have both Ad-Aware and Spybot loaded in my laptop. Both work wonderfully. I alternate between programs to hopefully catch anything that might escape the other. I use them about once every two weeks or more often when there are serious virus alerts.

Hm...I downloaded adaware...right after the software found all the bugs/viruses, I was ready to do the clean up then it asked me to purchase the software. Nice marketing tool.
