| Re: All too true. you have your choice of methods. Some run via a .reg file that sets the kill bit of spyware and puts the sites that offer it in the restricted zone, or you have the more comprehensive approach of a scanner that sits resident in memory and activly fights installation of those programs. I like IE-SpyAD and SpywareBlaster
Now that I think about it, the .reg files are available naked off of the net and they are updated regularlly. It would be a simple matter to write a little program that fetches the .reg and executes it to merge it into the registry. Then, all you'd have to do it set the program up as a scheduled task and it would run on it's own. None of them have a sophisticated auto-updater like the better AV programs do.
