    I just used MalWareBytes to clean spyware off a friend's computer on Friday. :)
    It worked great, 99 spyware items found

    Well its really personal prefernce, but ccleaner is still good at what it does, spy/virus, some people say microsoft security essentials. The free does limit your choices.

    I hope this helps
