After some googling around for a solution to the webrebates spyware, I came upon this collection of reviews:

Everywhere you go, including this forum, people say to use ad aware and spybot for spyware. Hype breeds hype. The reviews confirm my suspicion that these two just don't get the job done. They also suggest some better, lesser known apps.

If anyone else has some review links, this thread would be a good place to share them.

Bush? Kerry? Fuck 'em. My vote goes to webroot spy sweeper.
