I do computer support at a small company with about 70 PCs. I spend considerable time every week dealing with spyware problems. Ad Aware and Spybot are great, but it seems like many machines have something they don't take care of and I have to google suspicious looking DLLs and processes and find some manual way to clean them up.

My daughter came home this weekend and brought her computer. I had just cleaned it several weeks ago and it was almost non-functional with literally dozens of new spyware programs installed and hogging ram and cpu cycles.

I don't know how the average non-technical home user can survive in the spyware laden internet environment. Its crazy!
