Have you heard about Xoftspy? It is supposedly the best new spyware protection. Just wanted some info from people on the know.
Thanks!

Caperjack is correct, don't waste your money on Xoftspy, free programs such as Ad-Aware and SpyBot are better.

It's a good idea to, and to use it regularly. Ever since I have started using Adaware and Spybot on a weekly basis, I have had very little problems with spyware on my computer. I also has Spywareblaster installed also. And also be sure to keep each program updated regularly, or it won't do you much good. Between Adaware, Spybot, Spywareblaster, and a good antivirus program, you should be ok.
Unfortunately, these days it seems anti-adware and anti-spyware programs are required. They used to be just irritating, but now they're getting downright harmful.
Spybot and Ad-Aware both work by comparing the files on your system to a known database of adware and/or spyware. The reason for frequent updates, as DeOnna recommended, is to keep your database up to date with all the known files. Neither of them is complete, that's why you need both. Even with both, they won't find everything, but you'll be better off then you would be without them!
SpywareBlaster is another good thing to have; it works in a different way then the other two. It takes known malware sites and adds them to the Restricted Zone of your browser, thereby keeping the nasty stuff from ever getting to your system in the first place. This also needs to be updated frequently to provide the best protection. Links to these are also in DMR's signature.
