    What have you found to be the best anti-spyware/ad-ware/malware tools available(freeware of course).

    I currently use a combination of Ewido, Spybot S+D and Ad-aware, but still find lots of cr*p gets in undetected.

    Are there any other tools you can recommend?

    I think you'll find a tonne of threads on this but if you check the one in my link you'll find the onces recommended by many.
    If you are using three antispyware solutions and still getting caught you're operating system and components are not up to date or you are doing unsafe things while surfing.

    XoftSpy is brilliant, i use that with Ad-Aware. Ad-Aware isn't great really but i just use it as a backup. Xoftspy is excellent and picks up loads of stuff, i never get any crap anymore with it. just google it

    You already have the single, most effective package: Ewido but its not always enough.

    You may have to consider manual removal with HiJackthis if things get really nasty.
