well i would suggest Windows Defendor or Best would be Spybot Search n Distroy... as Both these are Free software how ever WInodows Defender would need a genuine XP...

So best option is Spybot Search n Distroy.... :)

I recommend that you get both Lavasoft Adaware as well as Spybot Search and Destroy.

The newly launched AVG antispyware is also good. Download the trial version and try it for 30 days.

Spyware Doctor has a very powerful antispyware engine, but at the same time its heavy on your system.

ewido anti-malware, now re-named and re-positioned as AVG antispyware is just cool !!! www.grisoft.com . u get the in-built 'anti-spy' utility with it. use it to harden ur windows sercurity further. after the 30d trial period, it can be used as an on-demand scanner.

see this too
Make your WinXP still safer ! Plug these holes !

I have never felt the need of installing a separate anti - spyware after installing NOD32.

NOD32 is good enough for me.
