What is your vote for a reliable, safe, free spyware program I can download and run? [View all]

My computer is dragging so badly today I am a bit concerned.

I ran Norton, and it checks for some spyware, and I ran Malware, but no
improvement in results.

Something is running in the background, it must be.

Thanks in advance!
