That's a really impressive list.

Thanks for sharing method :)

Yeah. Propably anti spyware products are more than the spyware programs. LoL :)

the general, normal, internet user downloads one of these corrupt progs and thats how they get spyware in the first place, installing these progs gives 1000's of diff spyware the right to be installed on your PC.. i recommend the following solutions:

Ad-Aware
Microsoft Anti-Spyware (not as good as getting rid of them as it is at stopping them)
Webroot Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
eTrust Pest Patrol
Spybot S&D

with these 6 programs in your arsenal you shouldn't have any problems :)

Spybot S&D is my best. It is free, and much better from any commercial one I ever used.

I would also recommend to use a firewall (not the one that windows have, that really sucks)
