I need a free, good spyware program.

[Jacee]

As Corinne pointed out .. there is a difference between Anti-Virus and Anti-spyware/Anti-malware programs.

Free:
Anti-malware/spyware programs would include SuperAntiSpyware SUPERAntiSpyware.com | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware! and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware |MG| Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46 Download

Also free... is Spyware Guard and Spyware Blaster by Javacool
Javacool Software ( I recommend both!) You need to update Spyware Blaster often, then click on enable all protection

Another freebie that seems to work well is System Protector Free Edition. When I first ran a scan with this utility, it found a couple of infections that Kaspersky Internet Suite missed. I have the paid for version now and the two applications seem to be compatible while monitoring the processes.

Advanced System Protector – Protection from all types of spyware and malware

Malwarebytes

In the past few years, I've used AVG, AVAST, Spyware Blaster, etc., etc.

About 6 months ago I went to MSE. IMHO it's superior. It updates automatically, scans on demand or when scheduled and has a relatively small CPU footprint when it's scanning. Periodically, I will scan with MalwareBytes Anti-malware and Superantivirus Free edition, which will identify the cookies that MSE ignores. I have a clean machine. I highly recommend MSE.
