NOD32 picks up most spyware, as does SAV10. With Firefox in use a lot here (it really makes a difference), we really don't have much of a spyware problem, but when we do, I use Ad-Aware and Spybot (with Ad-Aware, it's important to boot into safe mode and do a full system scan, it finds much more in full scan mode). I've also found that a little bit of education (such as avoiding certain websites and not installing things) helps a lot.
