Just wanted to share my finding here smile.gif . Yesterday after doing some surfing *cough* (if you know what i mean blush.gif ) I found that my browsing speed was slow. I noticed that it took 3-4 seconds to load my homepage(www.google.com), which was always instant, files that i could download at rates of 50kbps from rapid share became 5kbps. My instinct were to run my Avast antivirus, but nothing was detected, so I knew it could be spyware. Today I ran Spybot S&D, it detected 3 infections. I thought that was all but i was wrong when I ran ad-aware, ad-aware detected 178 infections. After running ad-aware browsing speed was back to normal. But after ad-aware I ran SUPERAntiSpyware, and it detected 45infections ad-aware missed.

So i think it would be safe to say SUPER Anti Spyware is what i would suggest.
