Antispyware on W7

Can anyone recommend a good antispyware which works on W7?

I've always used Superantispyware but it won't even install on 7. Oh yeah and it has to be free

Re: Antispyware on W7

I won't use PCGuard as I have ESET Smart Security which has antispyware built in but I like to have others just in case.

just run a weekly or bi weekly scan with malwarebytes then will be plenty. Just run ccleaner before you scan as most crap sits in temp files

Re: Antispyware on W7

For anyone who uses Mcafee (I do at work), they are apparently releasing a patch on Monday that should make VirusScan fully Windows 7 compatible.
