Usually most programs that monitor a computer (Ad-Aware basic is free for individuals) also monitor and usually can correct spyware that puts registry files on the computer. There are a number of free programs available, but if you get something serious they sometimes are inadequate to remove it (they show it, but cant remove it). Also, some of the free ones can screw up a computer in their attempt to fix it. I usually just use Ad-Aware and fix, sometimes manually, any problems when they show up. Other things to prevent ID theft:
1. Only go to trusted sites (although they can by hijacked and infected too)
2. Keep you computer up to date (Microsoft auto updates) including your browser (IE, firefox)
3. Keep track of you financial accounts regularly (balance the checkbook, read the statements, get you annual free credit scores). I check my accounts daily.
4. Don't store lists of passwords, account numbers, or other critical identifying information in regular text or spreadsheet documents. If you need to write them done do so with pen and paper and put it into the safe.
If you still can't sleep at night, then go buy Norton or a similar product. BTW check with you internet provider. Some of them provide a copy of retail spyware programs at no or reduced charge.
