I found about 20 tracking programs on my computor with this freeware.
none from here though.
I go online to one site only and then check, interesting to see who wants your surfing habits.

    I am not sure if any spyware programs actually work. I have Spybot, and Adaware. I run them and usually come up with about 20 or so spyware items on my computer. I remove them using the removal tool... go to the internet for a few minutes, and they ALL come back, and then some. I am not convinced that the removal tool in either of these programs actually remove the spyware, even though I get the "spyware has been removed from your system" message after hitting the removal tool. I don't go to many internet sites... usually Yahoo, or Nasdaq, here, and a few other sites that aren't the type of sites you would expect to find spyware. Anyone else have the same problems with Spybot or Adaware?

    You need to download ad-ware also.
    It catches what sneaks past spybot.
    I use both of these and they work great and are free.

    Yep, that's what happens to me.
    I run Spybot first and fix problems, then run Ad-ware and delete.
