| Hey everyone! I think I may have spyware on my computer. I used MalwareBytes to clean up my computer, but I'm looking for a good spyware software. Any recommendations? Our IT guy at work suggested Spybot Search & Destroy. I've also heard good things about Ad-Aware. What do ya'll think? I don't mind if it is free or not...as long as it does the job well, I'm willing to pay for a program. Thanks! |

I use both. I don't run them very often because my McAfee does it too. |

| I have SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and also NoAdware5. I like the NoAdware best because it finds much more than the other. I do run both though.

| I use spybot also the tech guys load it on everyone's computer. It's free too. My spybot is set to run in the middle of the night, it runs everyday. I run a full scan once a week. I also run Nod 32 I pay for this yearly. It's set to run in the middle of the night also, I run a full scan weekly. |

| Thanks for all your suggestions! I'm still doing research, but I'm leaning towards Spybot S&D.  |
