In case you are fedup by all those crapy soft installed wo/ being ask...
www.lavasoft.nu/index.html
From the main page:
Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans your memory, registry and hard drives for known spyware and scumware components and lets you remove them safely. It is updated frequently.
*very* cool tool.

There's another spyware tool you can use, which Fred Langa is recommending instead of Ad-Aware (after Lavasoft delayed updates for several months) named Spybot - Search & Destroy. It's a very good program, extremely easy to use and keep updated also.
