The best probram is a called AdAware, published by a company called Lavasoft. It is a full working version, with no time limit and FREE. It is completely trustworthy. Do a search on Google to find and download it.

Adaware is good and free. It usually can't get rid of everything, but it will give you a good idea of how serious the problem is.

I've never had much luck with removing spyware from an infested system. It hides itself too well and even if you get rid of 99% of it, what's left just reinstalls everything again. It usually quicker to reformat and reinstall the OS. The only time I've been able to remove everything is when it's caught as soon as it happens. Even then, it can easily take a couple of hours.

If you have a legit copy of Windows use Microsoft Ant-Spyware here.

If you already know which is best and which is "Worst", why are you asking here? AdAware has found things that Spybot and other programs missed on several computers I've had to clean up. There are other good, freeware programs out there if you know how to use a search engine. The whole idea is that it takes time to write updates to the different programs, and they can't start till they get a sample of the spyware they want to detect and eliminate.
