OT: Does anyone know a good free anti-spyware/adware program?

Well, at the advice of several in this thread, I'm starting using Firefox.
Don't think I'm ever going to go back. This is great. Thanks dudes.

Thanks, Tomcat. That link explains it.

EYG, Ad-Aware SE is free for Personal Use - currently at version 1.05.

It certainly found a few more little nasties when I upgraded to the new product. I am running it on 3 PCs and had no problem ugrading although it does uninstall older versions before installing itself.

Thanks for the tip about "block all pages silently", though I tend to agree with you, it is often a good idea to know where the wretched spyware stuff is coming from.
