I recently had to clean up an infested machine of a relative. It had over 230 spyware objects and several viruses and trojans. They are not particularly computer literate and had asked a friend to help. The friend searched google to find anti-spyware products but couldn't tell if google's results were any good. The top google result for "spyware" is a program called "spychecker."

I have no idea whether spychecker is a legitimate program or not. But with so many rogue programs that claim to fight spyware while actually installing spyware, it is difficult for the average user to know who to trust.
