Here's a list of bad spyware programs. They're either rip offs of Ad-aware or Spybot S&D, simply useless/inefficient, or downright dangerous:
AdWare Remover Gold
BPS Spyware Remover
Online PC-Fix SpyFerret
SpyBan
SpyBlast
SpyGone
SpyHunter (makes people pay to delete the things the free version finds)
SpyKiller
SpywareNuker
TZ Spyware-Adware Remover

If you have any of these programs on your system we recommend you remove them and install one of the recommended spyware programs.
