more then one is the solution
Both ad aware and spybot search and destroy are very useful. I usually run both because each one will find some the other did not. I have even heard of use of a third one to find the rest.
Ad watch is very good program and it does pretty good.
I find most of these come from things I will research via google. That is usually when I go to sites which I dont normally visit. If I plan on doing a big session of research I will turn all my security settings all the way up and then run a scan at night. This will limit the amount you get.
Bigger then that right now is the windows JPEG problem. This is a problem in the way the new OS (xp, 2000, etc) process the jpeg image. The problem is hackers can create a malicious program to be executed if the user views a specially crafted JPEG image file, crazy huh? There are no such programs right now but that should change. Well I would suggest anyone who does much internet viewing on sites they dont trust please go here and get the newest update http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS04-028.mspx
