I've been using Webroot's SpySweeper. It WAS a great program. I recently updated to version 5.0. Huge mistake. It eats up so much memory and sends my computer to the Blue Screen of Death numerous time/day. After looking into it, apparently a LOT of people are having the same problems with it. After uninstallation, all my problems were gone. I don't think i'm even going to reinstall the older version.

What spyware programs do you guys use/recommend?

Privacy Eraser

it also empties out the index.dat files, which are the cause of all evil.

Why would you want a program that erases your privacy?

:idea: :lol:

i know it's kind of a weird name, but i love that little program. I barely run it though since i always know to which websites i'm going and whether they will fuck up my pc or not.

it's also Firefox and Opera compatible. :)
