Spyware

Hello,
am using Avast Home and it has been going well for some time.
I have it installed on two machines, XPpro and WIN98se, fantastic, wondering if it does Spyware as well.

Whilst avast isn't a specialist anti-spyware program it does detect spyware but I would suggest getting an additional program/s to enhance protection.
If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode.
1.
Ewido, a.k.a. avg anti-spyware
If using winXP. or
a-Squared free
if using win98/ME.
2.
Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition
3.
Spybot Search and Destroy
4.
Spywareblaster
Don't install this until you are clean.
