http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Just a heads up. We've been recommending Ad-Aware anti-spyware for personal use to our community for several years. However, the newest version (Ad-Aware Free Internet Security 8.3) now includes anti-virus. I assume that means it will probably conflict with other installed anti-virus solutions, such as McAfee, etc. Besides Spybot Search and Destroy, what anti-spyware do you recommend to your users?
