spyware scanner?
(win xp)
I'm looking for a spyware scanner similar to the OLD ad-aware, that just scans and does NOT keep running.
Which programs could I use?

with these properties:
-light program
-scan only
-free to use

Ok do you any differences between them, why one would be better than the other?

You can use both of them.
While it's best to have only one Anti-virus program installed.
Having more than one Spyware program is ok.
