Do you guys know any good Spyware search programs? I've already got Ad-ware and it helps for cookies. But I've got 2 really bad problems with spyware. The first one is a pop-up with the title "Only the Best" It pops up on nearly every website i visit. Even Hotmail which I access through MSN Messenger. The other one is a file called mshp.dll that changes why homepage. It wasn't there before and everytime I delete it, a new one is put back a short time later. Any suggestions?

I've heard that Spybot is a good program, but I myself have never used it.

Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

The most popular one I'm aware of (other than Ad-Aware) is Spybot.

Or someone could just jump in and post ahead of me. That works, too.

I use spybot, which works nicely as far as I have seen....

I run both Spybot and Ad Aware.
