Spyware, Adware and other net hazards

In an attempt to get random popup ads from appearing on my father's computer, I spent a lot of today working with Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. It's one of many programs out there that scan your system for malicious or just invasive software that you can accidentally download.

Now that I've gotten through that, does anyone know some software that scans for the more- or less-common trojan horses out there? Since my computer is now connected to the net at all times, I'd like to protect it a bit better.

I'd also recommend Spy-bot Search and Destroy. Between this and Ad-Aware, you should get pretty much everything. If you're like me and really like security, you can check out Window Washer. All of these can be found on cnet.com, just search for spy-bot and window washer, respectively.

My old company, interMute, just announced a free beta of its new anti-spyware product, SpySubtract. I haven't tried it out yet, but it's available at www.spysubtract.com.
