Spyware does not play well with Stardock software. Since we're usually changing the systems GUI, Spy programs think we are a trojan or other attack.

Dump Spyware, SpyBot, or any Spy Ad type 'watcher' apps.

I just want to say that I use Spybot - Search & Destroy and Spyware Blaster without any problems on a XP Home System.

Ya I use WebRoot's (same company, oddly enough) SpySweeper and it ignores WB just fine.  No doubt that anti-spyware has to work on an "it's own best guess" premise though and I don't think any one of them guess right all the time, they all seem to require a little user judgement/interpretation.  Just kind of have to take them for what they're worth.
