Everyone has his/her set of freeware tools they use on the PC/mac/whatever, I thought it might be nice to make a thread with as many as possible free tools, and I mean free as in freeware not as in "Oops well hehe how did that cracked serial got in there?"

Another Spyware removal tool - this one picks up ones that both AdAware and Spybot miss (on my computer at least)

Grisoft also has an anti rootkit program that helped me delete some particularly stubborn redirecting malware on a work computer. No other program got it, not even AVG or AVG antipyware. I went through a half dozen programs before this did the job. Found a ton of other crap with the other programs though.

I've seen an unprotected machine's OS literally go to pieces within only a few hours... spyware sucks...
