  There are thousands to choose from, and better to use in combination rather than alone. Good software to use are RegCure, Registry Cleaner, Mastrscan, and Xoftspy. Spyware terminator.

  Spybot search and destroy is the best anti-spyware because of three important features that the other software do not have.

  1) Immune feature - prevent spywares/adwares/trojans from coming back again. Other anti-spywares program can remove the spywares but cannot prevent it from coming back again and again.

  2) Registry monitor - advance feature TeaTimer module can monitor and deny changes to registry by malwares ( both known & unknown ) .
  Trying to keep the spyware database up-to-date is not really possible because new spywares keep coming out. Spybot strategy is to deny any unknown software from install itself in your PC. This help to stop known and unknown malwares.

  3) Hosts file locking - advance feature that prevent web pages hijackers.
