MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
In my opinion, this is the very best
spyware program that you can use on your computer to remove spyware,
viruses, and other infected files. It is very simple to install, very
easy to update and use, and only takes a few minutes to run a complete
scan on your computer.

A-Squared Free
This program contains both antivirus and
antispyware software, so it can be very useful when scanning your
computer. If the program finds a virus that it cannot remove, it will
give you manual instructions to remove the virus, which I found very
helpful. It does a great job at removing spyware from your computer
also.

finding every trace of spyware on your computer. It also has a very fast
scan time, and is very easy to update and use.

Spybot Search & Destroy
Spybot Search & Destroy has been
around for a long time, and it is still a very popular spyware
application. The SDHelper and TeaTimer functions of this software do a
great job in stopping spyware from rutting itself onto your hard drive.
Spybot works great when used along with other spyware applications.

SpywareBlaster is a small free program
that stops spyware from getting onto your computer in the first place.
This program does not actually remove spyware, but it does a great job
at stopping it. I think every computer should have this program
installed.

Avira AntiVir Personal 9
This software is completely free and
ranked very high by Consumer Reports. It does a great job at scanning
your computer and finding all infected files and then removing them. One
thing to note, however, it does not scan email. It will find the
infection if you open an infected email, however.

very good job and runs silently in the background.
