I've got a problem with Spyware.

Does anyone know of any good freeware / download sites which may help?

Many thanks,
John.

would recommend Adaware as mentioned above, it works really well and seems to find most of the spyware on my comp! if u can locate it, the pro version is even better!

best idea is to get both, they dont mind running together and will find almost anything out there. limewire will give you the pro versions

I find spybot fantastic but if you have a specific problem (say malware wipe) then type it into google and you'll find hundreds of internet forums discussing solutions

hijackthis is usually needed also

see http://www.merijn.org/

also http://castlecops.com/

Latest version of Antivir PersonalEdition Premium (ie paid for version) also has anti-spyware.

Be aware a lot of sites that claim to give free downloads of anti-spam and anti-spyware do exactly the opposite. They also copy the names of real anti-spyware and anti-spam tools.
