I have the free home edition on XP and Vista - no problems with any of the
builds. It seems to help if you turn off UAC and AV when installing. Right
click on .exe file and run as administrator. JMO

Assuming you want to PREVENT spyware-adware:
Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Microsoft's Windows Defender.
All free.

Windows defender is good, as it was the old antispyware that MS bought
last year.
Ad-aware finds every cookie and entries that Defender misses, btw.
Lastly, PC cillin suite 14 for vista also scans adware cookies.

Adware works OK with Vista RC 2. I been using it since RC 2 came out and it
finds lots of spyware. Why Defender does not is a mistery?
Microsoft missed the boat with Defender and the reason why Zone Alarm is so
popular. I want to be able to control my PC sending information as well as
recieving it.
I am a big boy now! I am able to make my own decisions I live in a free
country (UK) and I also think that freedom should remain. I fought for this
country in the military and is was not for some money crazy company to spy on
me. The amount of info sent without your permission and 'spam emails'
emulating because of it scares me.
I don't want companies scanning my PC for old or non-updated programs then
spamming me with " We have a special update to our program which you can
purchase for $XXX.

You said you are getting lots of spyware... just out of curiosity, have you
turned UAC off? I noticed that when you turn UAC off, it also turns IE7
Protected Mode off. As a result I got some spyware. When I turned UAC and PM
back on I noticed little, if any, spyware. Just an observation...

Just have to remember that Ad-Aware flags most, if not all, cookies that
contain any, and I mean any, unique data . . . even just the preferences for
particular web sites that allow you to customize their main pages.
When Ad-Aware says you have 300 or so potential threats, usually 299 of them
are cookies that it thinks may be tracking cookies.
All advert cookies are flagged as well.
Since most cookies are benign, Defender ignores them, and if you're really
worried about cookies, just use IEs feature to delete all of your cached
data.
Just don't be upset when you have to reset all of the preferences on some of
the web pages you've already set up to your liking.
