I heard a distrubing thing about Spybot S&D though (I also still use...the registry protection is awesome) and that was that the creators used to write spyware themselves...so there's no guarantee that they aren't still doing that...which can then obviously bypass their program.

It also apparently managed to crash my one harddrive (which was already slightly damaged though...but apparently worked fine again at least for recovery once the tech guy removed Spybot S&D)

Sine then I am a little wary of recommending it.
