I use spy sweeper too. Great program. Beware however of some of the free versions of other spy programs. Some of the free versions will locate, but not remove spyware unless you buy the software. And I also discovered that some more unscrupulous spyware programs will install their own spyware. Cute trick.

Have you run your anitvirus software regularly? We use Norton. We have some nasty parasite (not virus) take over one of our computers a couple of weeks back and called in the local Computer Doc. She ended up reformatting the hard drive (but did manage to save nearly all our data files). She recommended Spy Sweeper by Webroot - you can download a free version but if you want updates you need to subscribe for about $30 a year. We've also used Spybot Search & Destroy, basic version free online, and Ad-Aware which alos offers a free version.
