I've tried several and I find spy sweeper by webroot to be the best for my IE. You can get a 30 day free trial or subscribe for $30/yr. My computer kept getting hijacked and it didn't stop until I installed spy sweeper. I also use AVG anti virus. Kept my computer clean ever since. Norton did not help. You can download both spy sweeper and AVG at www.download.com

Spy Sweeper is Free IF

Spy Sweeper is Free if you use MSN. And, I love it.

Re: Spy Sweeper is Free IF

How do I obtain this? I have MSN and don't seem to be able to find it...
