Spybot S&D - go to Download.com for the latest version.
Also you should use this with Lavasoft Ad-Aware Personal.

Webroot's SpySweeper is a great one, but you have to pay $29.95 a year after a 30 day trial period.
Spybot Search and Destroy is a good free one, but you have to use their tea timer to prevent things from installing themselves in your registry...but it's also free.
I personally run SpySweeper and Spybot Search and Destroy. I am trying out Microsoft's new spyware killer...so far it's not too bad.
Hope this helps.

I use both spybot and adaware but lately they don't find much of anything. I don't know if it is because they are catching things before they are planted or if it is because software is circumventing my spyware searching programs.
I have no "exempt" files and check for updates periodically. Typically all I find now are cookies, nothing in the registry.

The best way not to get Spyware on your computer is never clcik on Pop-Ups, never download desktop themes,do not install P2P File sharing programs, and don't use Freeware or shareware. The only way it gets on your computer is from the user.
AVG and ANti-Vir Anti Virus programs, both free, also see most spyware as a virus and will stop it from loading. Most spyware programs only get rid of it once you got it.

The best one I found came with Yahoo Instant Messenger. If you don't mind having that program installed on your program, the spyware toolbar is great.

"... am a website designer and have to be constantly reformatting my HD do to this problem...."
Why? How does designing websites lead to installation of spy- or adware and the resultant HD reformats?

I'm still unclear on your connecting the presence of spyware to designing websites. The spyware only affects your website designing?

Download Mozzila,Spybot,AdWare & ZoneAlarm.
Set the Mozilla to NOT accept cookies UNLESS you authorize them.
I've been "critter" free for months since I did this.
BTW TRASH "Internet Exploder" from the hard-drive AFTER you use it to Download Mozilla and get Mozilla operational.

The spyware keyword will bring up lots of threads on the spyware topic.

BS!
Download Mozilla, Install it, go to "StartMenu" "Control Panel", "Add/Remove Programs", Select "Internet Exploder" and click the "Add/Remove Programs" box and follow the prompts sending it to the "Recycle Bin"' (when it asks if you really want to delete it, SAY YES!), then go to the "Recycle Bin" and DELETE that!!!
BTW, If you want detailed info on how the fed-scum blew up the OKC Fed Bldg I will hook you up with the info.

It's bad enough to have to deal with spyware without having to sift through erroneous advice.
Add/Remove Programs doesn't send anything to the Recycle Bin.
