Default Spyware??

I used to download a lot of MP3's, but I haven't done it since Morpheus changed. Now, I am looking for another good site, but all this talk of Spyware is making me a little nervous. So, what is the best anti-Spyware program out there that I can put on my home PC, and what are the best MP3 sites out there?

I would use the search function, but it STILL isn't working....

I personally still use Morpheus. There is little free application called Adaware by Lavasoft that is EXCELLENT for removing spyware. After I run my mp3 downloading session on Morpheus, I run this program. It takes a free minutes to run and scan your drive for spyware, so be patient.

Download it here: http://www.lavasoft.de/downloads.html

Also get the companion tool, RefUpdate. This will update Adaware with the latest spyware definitions.

Adaware is good, but you should also use Spybot: Search & Destroy
What one doesn't grab the other is usually on top of
