not exactly unflux, [download.com](http://download.com) goes to zdnet, they used to be their own company, but got bought by cnet, i think they have the same files, but they’re not the same site.
EDIT: Nevermind, you were right, but you can also download them from [www.zdnet.com](http://www.zdnet.com)

You can also try [http://www.spywareguide.com](http://www.spywareguide.com)
I wouldn’t actually _buy_ anything from them, but they have some great resources and tools for free.
But as far as a program to install, SpyBot S&D is the best.

I use both SBS&D and AdAware. One finds stuff the other one doesn’t 🙂
