Webroot Spysweeper claims to have a database of nearly 90,000 spyware items.
Some of these though are cookies. The program, by the way, can auto update on
a regular basis and has resident spyshields, like the Microsoft program. I
understand that the MS offering is going to remain free. Only hope they sort
the keyboard access issue soon.
MS anti-spyware does also have good diagnostic tools, such as looking at
running processes and startup programs, and a few others too.
