Then Steve (H) What can I say, except that I have been delighted with AdAware (try a full system scan rather than a "smart scan" some time). It is far better to have AdAware than to not have a checker, and the personal one is free for personal use. That aside, perhaps people would like a link to where one can find this SpySweeper wonder on the Web. I went for the obvious and tried <http://www.spysweeper.com>, which redirected my browser to <http://www.webroot.com/products/spysweeper/>. Hope that stating the almost obvious helps for once.
