spyware doctor
 

I just did a scan with this got 98% of the way through I think and had 199 infections, anyone else try this? Had more than that?

I had that just last week alone..it's not uncommon for me to get atleast 500 per week :disgust

I get a ton of spyware as well. Usually right after I do some gallery subs.

you think about doing something to prevent it.

Webroots Spy Sweeper is a fantastic product also. Its the only one I found that got rid of 5 of the worst browser hijackers that had infected my kid's pc. I tried every prog on them and only Spy Sweeper was able to detect and then eliminate each one perfectly. I highly recommend this.

You can do a free scan online off this link. And download the software on a 14 day trial. Works great!!

And to illustrate how fucked up it is out there, the def file has the fingerprints for over 208,000 of these scum progs. I think its virtually impossible to surf the net and not get this crap in your PC. Spy Sweeper also has a great shield system to deploy once you are cleaned to prevent anything from getting you again.

What would be good spyware software with fair affiliate program?

There is non. Spyware / Active X sucks.
