This is one I`ve not seen talked about, but I discovered through a Security Site recommendation.

This is what they say about their product
Why do you need protection from spyware?
Spyware is everywhere: It infects 9 out of 10 Internet-connected computers.
It can seriously disrupt your computer operations and compromise your privacy: Spyware makes your computer's performance and Internet access slow to a crawl. Serious infections can lead to a corrupt hard drive, and exposure of private information, usernames and passwords, or, at its worst, identity theft.
Anti-virus and firewall fail to protect: Anti-virus software and firewalls are not capable of stopping spyware. Firewalls can't detect spyware that is embedded in legitimate programs, or protect a user from already existing internal threats. Anti-virus software is not programmed to recognize or remove spyware programs, which possess different signature files and behaviors
I downloaded the free trial version and when I ran it I found a number of `nasties`, despite the fact I have all the popular programs, such as Adaware and Spybot.
It`s really keyloggers that I`m trying to stop.
