Spybot
Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your
computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications

intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed
without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything,
you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking
your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to
advertisement companies. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if
something snooped into your computer, too.
