Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of

program and Web-usage tracks from your system, which is especially
useful if you share your computer. Modules chosen for removal can be
sent directly to the included file shredder, ensuring complete
elimination from your system. For advanced users, it allows you to fix
Registry inconsistencies related to adware and to malicious program
installations. The handy online-update feature ensures that Spybot
always has the most current and complete listings of adware, dialers,
and other uninvited system residents.
Abuse is a simple program which will help you fight back spam.
It will "read" any e-mail header, go on-line and check NICs, open relay
DBs and black-listed IP ranges to discover the address of the
abuse-desk you should write to. Further it will tell you if the sender's IP address is an open relay or is blacklisted as a spam source.
