Spybot - Search and Destroy. Find and remove Spyware for FREE.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware.

Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

If you use Norton Anti-virus you should disable "Teatimer" that is part of Spybot.

Spybot is one of a number of tools you should use. Please see my Malware Article for more software choices.
