I know I used to have it, at least 5 years ago. The client has been considered spyware or grayware, its not malicious but I personally think its shady software. Also, when gamespy isn't installed but there are registry entries, they rewrite themselves. |

in gamespy most of software flags one component which is related to ADs system ... it's hard to say if it's spyware or just adware  |

In that case:
PAID:
1) Spysweeper
2) Spyware Doctor
3) Counterspy
FREE:
1) Spyware doctor starter
2) Super Antispyware
3) Spybot search and destroy

I disagree with Spybot and Spyware Doctor. I use SuperAntiSpyware and now Malware Bytes Anti Malware. Both of them are very good.

Just download. MBAM is actually free Eric. If you don't register you just get on-demand scanning. Yeah it's not very clear. Also some download sites list is as shareware. |

Yes, I went to get it after reading this thread and there didn't seem to be any mention of 'free'. I decided to try it anyway and that was when I found out that it's free as installed.
Some other apps. are like tis: difficult to find the free version.

Just tried Spycatcher Express. It seems to slow down the opening of apps. by a few seconds.
Did a full scan; got 6 or 7 detections, but wasn't told what they were or located!
I'd hate to delete or quarantine items without more information.
