Perhaps, personally I load customer's machines with AdAware, Spybot,
MS-AntiSpyware (Defender) & several URL's for on-line scans. I've
now gone as far as to create a "Security" Toolbar with all these tools on
a prominent place on the TaskBar to help customers remember to update
and use them regularly.

Threats change & evolve constantly - there is no Static type of solution
that will keep them at bay. The Internet is a dangerous place to play with
no proper protections.

Bromide.

Who said anything about a Static Type Of Solution?

Do you honestly expect folks to install at least FIVE different
Anti-Spyware programs, keep them updated, monitor them and constantly
tweak each one as required?

There is no one software that cleans and immunizes you against
everything. Antivirus software - you only needed one. Firewall, you
only needed one. AntiSpyware - you will need several. I have a list
and
I recommend you use at least the first five.

First - make sure you have NOT installed "Rogue AntiSpyware". There
are
people out there who created AntiSpyware products that actually install
spyware of their own! You need to avoid these:

Also, you can always visit this site..

For more updated information.

Install the first five of these: (Install, Run, Update, Scan with..)
(If you already have one or more - uninstall them and download the
LATEST version from the page given!)
