You mean antimalware? Right off the bat there's Ad-Aware, probably the most common free one I know of.
If you're actually looking for malware, just open up Internet Explorer and start browsing the Internet. You're bound to pick up something eventually. |

I'll second Ad-aware, and look i found a link for you
I also like Spyware Doctor, not free, but there are ways round that. I've also found that using Firefox has reduced malware on my PC, you might want to give it a try, if not using it already.  |

Okay, I decided to post my scan for the day using ewido... I'm using Mozilla and I thought I would get less "spyware" than with IE... but it's confusing as each day I get over 70 results and mostly all with Mozilla... anyone know what thoe are?

If I'm correct they are just cookies. They keep a track of the web sites that you have visited, and they don't harm your computer, they just take up a small amount of space on your hard drive.
The best thing for you to do would be to either GoTo Tools > Options > Privacy in Firefox. You will see an option towards to lower part of the box that says "keep cookies". Set this to "until i close Firefox" and this will delete all of the cookies each time you close down Firefox. If you do this, visit a few websites and then exit Firefox, and then run ewido the result should come back clean. This image shows you the box that should appear to change your cookie settings.  Or you could ask What are Cookies? This will give you more information on what these files are and what they do. |

When your running spybot, something is either preventing them from being deleted (safe mode windows, as someone else mentioned, should allow them to be deleted), or a program is running in the background (or a modded windows file) which is restoring them after they are being deleted.
If it is the latter, I am sorry to say I don't know how to fix that.
