Unfortunately I can read every language except Dutch.  ;-)
 
P.S.  It's all Dutch to me...

On my kids & parents Windows machines, I use HitmanPro
http://www.hitmanpro.nl/  followed up by Microsoft's Antispyware.
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx 
 
If something makes it past that combination the drive will have to be wiped
and Linux installed. HitmanPro can take a long time as it automatically runs
a growing list of antispyware products. After it finishes you can read a
report on which product did what.

Last time we discussed this at NAG, several months ago, folks still
suggested using not just one, but instead at least two, of the popular
anti-spyware titles.
 
Has this recommendation changed since then?  How well do the current
versions of anti-virus software, or security suites, perform the
anti-spyware function? 
 
Thanks,
