I am not sure if my answer is on track with what you are looking for,
but I personally am liking the Microsoft Anti-Spyware program. It may be
in beta, but I haven't heard anyone on my network complaining about
spyware since I deployed it.

Hello Team
I do like to test different so called "free"  software available
online.
What is the best to test if they don't have any spyware in it once it 
is installed?
What will be the best way to test these with out compromising my
system?
Thanks
Shyamal
