Is there a program or something that can scan a site before you go on it to check for spyware and the such? That would be really nice...

most spyware is badly written, so you could check it against the w3c site validator, the dodgy cookie dropping spyware code/embedded activex scripts will probably show up here...
 
yeah that would be good .. only ways to stop spyware is to have the Spyware removal tool watching your system 24/7
 
see spybot search and destroy...

blocking bad content wityh the immunize system feature, and the tea timer application will stop any unautherised registry changes being made...

In what form will they show up? How can you tell?

yeah so does Ad-Aware
Yes, but for all the features you have to pay for adware, SPybot is free from the word go...
 
yeah i paid for it .. Ad-Aware is excellent and because they take money they can spend more money then Spybot to improve there product.
 
all I can say to that is...

Linux, open solaris, open office, Bind, apache, privoxy, squid, shorewall, smoothwall, mozilla firefox...

some of the best applications, clear leaders in their field, and yet they are exactly the same as spybot, free, but you can, (if you like the product and want to), make a donation to further the development of the tools you are using.
