i got some spyware by installing brixout xp(a game) from www.sunnygames.com (i read their entire license agreement and nothing of that sort was mentioned there.. disgusting)
I have uninstalled the program and the files it tried to download but i have a suspicion that it may star again. How can i be sure that there are no adware on my system. Please suggest some good progs. For security i have only NAV 2003 and disbaled activex controls

Lavasoft's ADAWARE would be a good start.

Exactly, go to http://www.lavasoftnews.com and grab the new SE edition. The personal version is free and works extremely well. You could also use Spybot: Search & Destroy. Both work well, but the new Ad-Aware SE is by far superior.
