Sometimes this works better than the real spyware programs, IF you get them
all.  I would advise anyone who buys a new system to check
MSConfig FIRST and write down all of the running processes that are
theoretically supposed to be there.  Then later on when you think you have a
problem maybe you can recognize the gremlin that isn't supposed to be there.

I run Spybot and Adaware, and still have problems remaining.  I tried some
other programs and it seemed that Spysweeper did a better job at finding
things that the others didn't.  But even after all of these 3 I still have
problems remaining.
