I run Ad-aware 6.0 every night (free download), I also run spybot. They usually finds 8-20 occurances of spyware every day.

About a year ago my computer was so crippled that I thought I would have to scrap it and buy a new one. I was totally ignorant of this spyware. When I finally ran Ad-aware it identified over 800 installed files and executable programs that had been loaded onto my hard drive. All this crap had left my computer unusable and I didn't know why.

Why this practice is legal is a mystery to me.
