Everyone and their grandmother has told me that I need to clean and scan my registry and also sweep for spyware on my PC at least a few times a month. Are there any combo programs out there that can do both? I already have a virus scan and firewall program installed.
If not, which programs are the best for Windows XP? Also, I'm on dial-up so I can't really download programs that are too big. Just thought I'd point that out before someone posted a link to a 15-30MB spyware cleaner. 😉

If your computer has been accessing the Internet unprotected it is infected.
Spyware has surpassed viruses as the #1 threat to identity theft and without protection your Internet activities are never private.
To get rid of spyware and keep your computer clean you can use an antispyware or even more.
There are top 10 the best and latest anti-spywares in 2008.
the reviews link:
<–http://toptenantispyware.com/
All are safe and can be trusted and you can download one.
Since you've got dial up, and some suggestions here will no doubt be hefty packages, try this first; it's light weight & works very well:
"Sandboxie"
runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.
Use it for:
Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.
Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don't leak into Windows.
Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can't break out of the sandbox and can't infect your real system.
Freeware. (http://www.sandboxie.com/)
Not overly difficult to use. Don't presume impunity: it does have limits; listen to 'Security Now' #174 for more details (http://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm)
Freeware.
Not for 64 bit Vista platform.
