Found this great site today with tutorials for using AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Spyware Blaster and HiJack This. These are step by step, plain language instructions about the optimal way to configure and use these valuable tools. This tut http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial80.html will give you links to all but Spyware Blaster. The link to that one can be found within the Spybot Search and Destroy tut.
Something I learned? They recommend you use Spyware Blaster instead of the Immunize feature in Spybot S & D. In fact, if you have SpywareBlaster installed, Spybot - S&D will notify you that using SpywareBlaster will provide greater control.
Malware - always something to learn
