| | Hey, I am currently using AVG Free Edition. Can someone tell me if I would need a spy ware program too and anything that I can use that AVG doesn't do. Please and Thank You ~ Wii |

Lavasoft Ad-Aware is pretty good, and freeware. Of course there are other good ones, and possibly even better, but Ad-Aware is one of the more widespread ones.
In my opinion some of the most useful features of Spybot are not in the scanner itself. I always keep the immunize feature up to date which actively blocks known malicious web addresses. I also use Tea Timer which alerts me when something wants to modify critical registry entries, specifically the startup registry keys. Spyware will never get a hold in your system if it doesn’t have a place to start from. Tea Timer does throws a lot of pop ups on your screen but I don’t mind. I always read what wants to make the change and make the proper decision. If something ever did get in I know this will be my canary in the coal mine.
