Webscan is a totally awesome program. It picked up some sort of Kazaa malware thingy from my PC that Ad-Aware and Microsoft AntiSpyware overlooked. Personally, I have no idea how that got into my system, seeing how I've been steering free of P2P software since I've gotten my new computer but...whatever.

Some programs I'm currently using that are on your list would be Ad-Aware, CWShredder and HijackThis. Well, I haven't actually used HijackThis on my new computer yet, but it is installed for those 'just in case' purposes.

if you have ad-aware you should download some of the add-ons.
