Are there any other good Spyware applications other than Spybot?

AdAware has gone downhill with the latest version....

Cheers guys.

Use a sandbox for internet browsing and eliminate the threat of spyware once and for all!

+1

Alternatively, at least think about using Firefox/Opera rather than IE (although it's better than it used to be)

Sandbox?

Excuse me for being stupid....

download the old free version of Ad Aware

there are still some out there on 3rd party download servers. Still very good at picking stuff up that Spybot Misses.

A sandbox is a protected environment where all programs can be run without touching the operating system, a duplicate of the registry, kernel etc is created and any spyware or viruses modify that instead of the real thing.

Sandboxie is one such program.
