Slighty off topic but I really need some free software for checking for spyware.
Any recommendations?

    I use: Spybot search and destroy, Ad-aware, No-script plugin for firefox, AVG free anti-virus for viruses. They serve me pretty well and are all free..

    Yes, three.

    Malwarebytes: free and paid versions available. For me, and for all the computer/techie people at my university, this one's very much "the first choice" and everything else a bit behind it.

    Also Spybot Search & Destroy (free) and AdAware (free and paid versions).

    Remember that all these programs are only as good as their last update. If you don't set them to update automatically (and you can't with, for example, the Spybot free one), you need to remember to update and scan regularly.
