    Been battling this here at the office and at in-laws house (home seems to be ok so far). It seems the best scanner to date has been Spyware Doctor (http://www.pctools.com).

    It has found several trojans that Spybot, Adaware, Yahoo Toolbar has not been able to find... I believe the latest download searches for 20,000+ traces.

    Anyone else have other favorites they've used with best success?
