Anything will have its share of critics! AVG Free anti-virus is virus
protection only - although I see they also have a separate, free,
anti-spyware program.

I'm a long time user of AdAware when I search for tracking cookies and
other bad things (they have plugins for the worst of the worst). I
picked up something yesterday that had firefox at a stand still. I
ran my AVG, but found nothing. Today, it occured to me that maybe it
wasn't a virus, so I ran AdAware and solved the problem immediately.
