I use the windows defender for spyware. But i also use ccleaner on startup and that keeps me leaner I feel. What do you think?

Don't CCleaner slow your PC at Startup? I also like this program and use them once or twice a month.

For Spyware my favorite programs are:

Malwarebytes: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,2201.0.html

SUPERAntiSpyware: http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,116.0.html

I recommend Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware. They are both free and work well.

Get PC Tools Spyware Doctor. It handles Trojans, Malware, Adware, Viruses, and pop ups. It blocks them and spyware in real time, but you can also do all different kinds of scans as well.

SuperAntiSpyware and Spyware Terminator are both good. AdAware used to be great up until they changed and put out their piece of c@#p 2007 version. Now it is pretty much useless. WebRoot Spysweeper is fantastic. As far as a cleaner/remover MalwareBytes gets my vote. The only thing more effective is ComboFix. However, I will NEVER recommend using ComboFix to the casual user. This was meant to be used by "advanced users" (read professionals/Geeks here).  And to those of you who insist that what you are using is working "Just Fine". Guess again. If you scan with a weak and shoddy utility it will never find anything and tell you that your rig is clean. Of course this is the same utility that NEVER caught intrusions in the first place. Try monitoring your RAM usage, or your running processes, or your CPU load. Better yet. Try scanning with some of the FREE utilities mentioned on this forum.

@ Fireballgonzales

You believe your computer to be clean why? Because your McAffee tells you so? Have you ever checked it with any other utilities? Granted, Comodo is one of the best firewalls out there (if not the best). But McAffee is far from being top shelf. http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/rap-index.xml  Avast however is very good. 

As for your statement :"A proper solution doesnt neccessarily mean five-six tools to scan for malware, some good sense and awareness will keep the computer clean.
You are correct to a point. A proper solution Starts with a good firewall. Then includes a good anti-virus, a good anti-spyware utility, (they are NOT the same thing) and a good anti-phishing filter (the ones included with your browsers are notoriously weak).
Inevitably though. The most efficient solution is to use a Good (ESET, Kaspersky, Sophos, or Webroot) Internet Security Suite. A good suite will not only provide you with more tools and options (things like Anti-banner, Anti-spam, IM Anti-virus, Network Attack blockers, and Parental Control to name a few). But, it will require less resources than running seperate and individual utilities.
Not for nothing but. I am a US Marine Corps trained technician. And, I do this type or thing for a living.

Yes, they are useless right now. I was remove them from all PC's.

Don't know did you try Spybot Search & Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html ?? Very good and totally free product.

Of course, No1 is SUPERAntiSpyware (for me). Wink
