Hi Mikey,
here you are;
SpyBot-Search & Destroy free~donationware
http://patrick.kolla.de/software/spybotsd/navi.en.html
From the website
SpyBot-S&D searches your harddisk for so-called spy- or adbots; little
modules that are responsible for the ads many programs show. But many of
these modules also transmit information about your surfing behaviour and
more to the net.
If SpyBot-S&D finds such modules, it can remove them - or replace them with
empty dummies in case their host won't work any more with its bot removed.
In most cases, the host software still runs after removing the bot.
For a list of 'supported' bots see the feature lists below. Spybot-S&D works
with an easy interface that allows updates by just replacing a file of about
1k size. Those updates come by my software mailinglist.
Another feature of Spybot S&D is the removal of usage tracks, which makes it
more complicated for unknown spybots to transmit useful data. The list of
last visited websites, opened files, started programs, cookies, all that and
more can be cleaned. Supported are the three mahjor browsers Internet
Explorer, Netscape Communicator and Opera.
Last but not least Spybot-S&D contains some routines to find and correct
invalid entries into the registry.
