Peekaboo

[sigma7]

A PCWorld article analyzes commercial anti-spyware applications and the results are simply stunning. Of the seven applications that actually cost money, two added spyware to the computer in question, and one mistook a Windows signed driver directory as spyware and deleted it. None of them worked as well as Spybot Search & Destroy, which is free, but SS&D still works best in concert with Ad-Aware, also free. You get an inverse of what you pay for.

I'm having problems with SpyBot flaking out. It'll search and find all of these data miners, but when I hit "Fix problems" even if I uncheck all but one thing, it locks up.
