Just a heads up.

We've been recommending Ad-Aware anti-spyware for personal use to our community for several years. However, the newest 
version (Ad-Aware Free Internet Security 8.3) now includes anti-virus. I assume that means it will probably conflict 
with other installed anti-virus solutions, such as McAfee, etc.

Besides Spybot Search and Destroy, what anti-spyware do you recommend to your users?
