    Well, my current subscription to spysweeper has expired and I was wondering if there are any other excellent free programs that monitors and blocks keyloggers, spyware and all those other goodies that spysweeper offered. I had ad-aware 2007, but whenever I tried updating I get a 1066 error or something and it shuts down, so I uninstalled it. I currently have threatfire, spybot search and destroy, spyware blaster, avira antivir, avast antivar, and comondo firewall. Note- Even though I do have those two antivirus installed, I use antivir as my primary manual scanner and avast running real time in the background, will this cause any conflicts? I've read somewhere on here that it's okay.
