Does anyone use spyware? Which one do you use? What is your opinion of it? Is it really needed?

It's freeware, although they'll take donations. I run it every few weeks and it does a decent job of letting you know what cookies and registry entries have been made on your PC and gives you the choice of getting rid of them. It has a nice "undo that" function if you find you deleted something that was useful. See http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html I'd say if you have kids around that download games or anything, having a spyware checker is a must. While we're off-topic on tools, I also just switched to the new Firefox browser. It seems to do a better job than either Internet Explorer or Netscape in blocking pop-ups. Dave Larkin
