Use a number of them
Can add one that has its uses for me, not supported anymore, but BHODemon is still useful to see what Browser Helper Objects are attached to my browser and I can deal with them from its GUI if necessary

Mostly, SpywareBlaster & Spybot.

Great Poll blackdragon1!

No resident AS here, but I have a slew of on demand scanners - odd hobby.

Good job on the poll, blackdragon1 .

I use the term 'use' loosely, since I'm rarely in Windows anymore, but I have A-squared, AVG Anti-Spyware, and Spybot installed for on-demand scans if needed. Nothing running resident except for WinPatrol. I rely more on SpywareBlaster and the Immunize feature of Spybot, along with Firefox with NoScript. I can't decide if IESpyAd is still worth having, but I have not removed those entries as of yet.

But 99.5% of the time, spyware is no factor at all.
