One good site IMHO is www.spywareinfo.com . Also worth checking out is www.grc.com (Gibson Research Corporation).
Hate those spam harvesters that just round up email addresses? Spywareinfo has a means of striking back at them to hopefully dissuade them from keeping up this tactic ("The Harvester Project").
Search msconfig on the net and download it, ittl work in win2k.. the startup stuff anyways...
I ran Spybot under both my Windows XP and 98 partitions, the other day.
XP had more spyware than I thought, and all of it was removed.
98, however, gave me illegal operations whenever I would open a friggin' window. After running Spybot, and without even restarting, 98 ran perfectly.
