I'm probably going to catch a lot of heat if this ends up screwing up someone's computer but w/e. I happen to really like CounterSpy. It's a very unobtrusive spyware scanner that *actively* monitors your computer for funny things like people trying to put startup programs in your registry and stuff like that.

I still use the 1.x version, but people can download and use the upcoming 2.0 version for free if they don't mind dealing with the fact it's still in beta. It's supposed to be faster and use less resources than 1.x which is already very good, almost unnoticeable.

You can get it here:

jay if you have lots of viruses on your computer, i would actually just recommend reformatting just because it's a lot cleaner and you'd be absolutely positive your computer is clean afterwards.
