The 3 FREE best Anti-Spyware tools I use

I have used all three of these for over 6 years now and I keep reccommending them to people, why?

Why 3 programs? I have 4 computers running all the time at my house, and this has
allowed me to learn about all kinds of nasty spyware. When I ran only Spybot, a few things slipped by, then I added Ad-Aware and Spybot caught a few things that Ad-Aware missed, then I added Avast and now I never get infected. My main program that runs 24/7 is Avast. I love their little alarm that goes off if you
encounter something potentially dangerous, or your kids are on a site trying to download something unsafe.
As a parent this allows you to actually prevent it from happening.
I discovered the other two are great for scans and helping me see what is going on with my
system. Sometimes they find things that I did not even know where there.
It seems like since I got vigilant with Avast and have kept up with my monthly scans, life has
gone much smoother on the spyware front.
Those scums who create it and infect your computer range from prankster level to dangerous
criminals stealing your personal information.
If money is tight, just use the free versions of all three of these programs.
I have for years and they are still doing a great job!

Since I started using it over 4 years ago none of my 6 computers have gone down with spyware
problems. Before that I had tons of problems, since my kids are very active online and downloaded tons of music and free screensavers, ( very bad idea period.) We had spyware toolbars and some really nasty stuff that took me forever to remove!
They have a Mac Version too now, (not that Mac's get many infections in this area)
