Sites to Research Spyware

There are several databases online that track spyware and adware, and give you information about the potential impact they can have on your computer.

Discuss spyware, adware, and other problems with pests in Intranet Journal's Discussion Forum

Locating Pests on Your PC
Most annoying yet legitimate programs can be found on a PC without much effort and only basic knowledge of where Windows keeps programs. The truly bad spyware programs make it much more difficult, because they have nothing to gain from having their programs removed.

Your first stop should be the Add/Remove Programs section of your Windows Control Panel (Start Menu --> Settings --> Control Panel). You should also check the Windows Start-Up Folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu) to see if any programs have been added. If you are unsure of what a program is, check it against the spyware databases.

Evidence of spyware infestations can also be found in your computer's registry. It is recommended that only experienced computer users change the registry, and there are registry editors available that help makes changes when they are needed. There are also registry monitors that keep track of which applications are accessing your computer's registry.

Registry monitors include:
