Was wondering what the best spyware protection/detection program for sale is.
Something that is potent, finds malware and spyware, and is easy to work. I was looking at Lavasoft Ad-Aware. Also, have Spy Doctor loaded on the pc now and am contemplating purchasing that instead of Lavasoft. Tired of loading free stuff that only works to a point.

Have you tried Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Beta release?

No, first I heard of it.

Really? I didn't mention it earlier because I figured that everyone had heard of it. Well, here's a link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=321cd7a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en

I run Ad-Aware SE Personal (freebie) and Sypbot Search and Destroy.
I also dumped Internet Explorer for Netscape 7.2 and Firefox 1.5
Perhaps the biggest change I implemented was the use of Hosts Manager 1.0.1.1. Hosts manager is far, far more effective than anything Microsoft put out. Use of hosts manager killed all but a precious few pop-ups. Go to www.mvps.org

I run Pest Patrol. I started with their standalone version. Last fall I upgraded to the "live" version of the product. Seems to work very well and updates automatically.
