i dont use any spyware anymore, I just save my important folders and reset my ghost image every once in a while.
I now norton has loads of crap, but ghost is the best thing ever happened to me :)

Personnally, I use Spybot S&D. It's free and provides some browser immunity without having any process running.

I have never been victim to ad- or spy-ware but my IE security is locked down pretty tight. The only time I got hit by a malicious website (that used a buffer overrun in XPSP1), I caught it before it completed its installation and manually cleaned it. XPSP2 prevented that attack from recurring (I did test it only a few hours after the attack on my SP1) and I haven't caught anything since then. All my CPU cycles and bandwidth are accounted for...
