2. Better ones, and they're free! http://www.safer-networking.org http://www.superantispyware.com
3. Yes and its free!! Spywareterminator available at www.snapfiles.com/freeware
4. I used Spy Sweeper and even though it's good, it's also very slow which stopped many people from using it, including me. They also added a very dumb feature with anti-virus and it makes it even slower. Anyway, I think Spyware Blaster works, Ad-Aware 2007 I'm not a fan of it, but many people are, so you can try it out, and I prefer AdAware SE Personal because it's smaller and faster.
5. Here are some of the ways you may come to know that your computer security has been compromised. 1. You received an Intrusion Alert(s) from your Firewall 2. Your desktop or files have been modified without your knowlage. 3. There has been a dramatic decrease/increase in your disk space on server 4. You are experiencing high network usage 5. The output for ifconfig -a displays PROMISC. In promiscuous mode your box will be catching all packets. 6. You suddenly find that your history file is empty i.e., has been overwritten. 7. You find truncated/erased log files 8. You find new users on your system. 9. Process investigation reveals strange process names 10. There has been an unexplained rise in CPU usage 11.

6. One answer: SuperAntispyware. A previous answer gave you the link. This is free and as good as it gets. I won't have anything else on my computer, and I've used them all. And I especially wouldn't have one I have to pay for when the best ones are free.
