First, let me say, I am new here and I love this place. It is a lot easier and more relaxing than the last place I was at. Anyway, to my question, I was wondering, what is the best FREE full functional anti-spyware software out there?

Hi & Welcome to TSG,
I'm sure others will also reply, but there are some good independent reviews of all sorts of free software at Tech Support Alert:

Avira is an anti-virus not an anti-spyware.

Thanks guys for all the help!!!!!

I have it narrowed down to two, A-squared, and SUPERAntispyware. Out of these two, which one would you guys recommend?

Since we are on the subject of security, I just saw an ad for Online Armor Free. I use Comodo Firewall Pro and I wonder if I should give Online Armor Free a try. Is it easier to use than Comodo???

Run the two of them on demand.I run SAS Free and the new Adaware 2007 and never had any problems as of yet.

I use both a-squared and SAS,
a-squared catches trojans as well as spyware, adaware, ect,

online armor is great I use it, it passed all of the leaktests on matousec,
and it's made to be easy to use it doesn't have that many pop ups (on my computer) you can try it if you like just uninstall comodo first, or you can keep comodo it's another great firewall,
what version of comodo do you have 2.4 or 3.0? I think 3.0 might be a stronger firewall than online armor but it still has a few bugs (some computers it works fine) since it's new I'll probably try it out soon after it's had a few updates,
if you're comfortable with comodo keep it, if you want to try some thing diiferent then give online armor a try they're both very strong firewalls.

anyone elses opinions on online armor or comodo?

The reason I mentioned two was it never hurts to have a second opinion.SAS is tough to beat though!

Personally I haven't met a good anti-spyware program that would be freeware :\
Products like Spyware Doctor, SpySweeper etc. have a trial which can help you find a keylogger but not remove. In fact, even to find a keylogger that has been released say 3 months ago with a help of these tools is almost impossible, though they claim to update signature bases several times a day :-D

I would recommend you to try free-trial version of PrivacyKeyboard. In my opinion this is the bast program that can help you find out whether you have a keylogger or not. After it you can take decision on what to do.
