Does anyone know if Spybot scanns other harddrives besides the one it is loaded on? Besides spybot does anyone know of any other good ones out there?

There's a pretty accessible one called Spyware Doctor. I forgot who it was made by but the only catch is that if you want to take full advantage of the features, you'd have to buy it. You can download the program, but it's that you'd need to pay 30something bucks for the registration code as it will find and display your results for you, but you can't really do anything with them. I still need to pay for mine in fact. If you want a clearer description of Spyware Doctor, you can go to www.download.com.

As for free programs that are accessible, I haven't found any myself. I've tried AdAware, but as I don't know how the Scripts work, as far as I know, it's not very accessible.

spyware is what i've been using and I've found it to be the best and easiest to use. I'm going to buy about 8 licenses so I'll end up paying around $19.99 for them. It will be a good investment since they'll all be installed on our office computers. I tried spy blaster and it works well enough, but it's a bit more difficult to get around.

hmm, the best one is adaware, and there is a research that has been recently made up that shows that ad'aware is the best one, and well they have developed new techniques to eliminate spyware in the last version.... so I just recomend it. as for accesibility... well, not much, yes, i agree with that, but hey it protects you efectively and doesn{t let spyware out like spy guard or spyware blaster....
