Afraid about spyware

Mar 6, 2004 12:02AM PST

Can anyone help me to find a good free anti-spyware? It's for my home only, where I'm using a Windows 98 operating system. Thanks in advance.

There are a number of spyware products available.

Some folks run one, some folks run many.

I think it's default options should fit most users.

It does require regular updates to be effective.
