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?
