    What is a good free tool to detect and remove spyware these days?
    Way back when it was SpyBot - Search and Destroy, but looking at that package again the free version seems to be cumbersome and in the end largely useless.

    Hopefully someone else will answer as my experience with owning a Windows machine is several years old now.

    -- You also have to love the fact that Microsoft has left access to notifications largely open and I find people left and right who are taken by the random "McAffee" or other anti-virus warnings that their system is infected. They don't even have these packages installed on their systems.

    I saw similar things to this in the past. In some cases, it was something
    that persisted after a "free trial" came installed on a new system and was later removed after the trial was over. I have also seen them come up as browser pop-ups initiated on websites and, as you pointed out, sometimes
    just randomly.
