Besides shrink-wrapped, what are the most trustworthy apps/sites for malware detectors (adware, spyware, keystroke loggers)?

Microsoft anti-spyware is a good program. I recommend it to everyone.

I second what Buster said. Microsoft one is good, and free.

For non-real time, Adaware and Spybot S&D are good.

Links:

Adaware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/)

Microsoft Antispyware (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=321CD7A2-6A57-4C57-A8BD-DBF62EDA9671&displaylang=en)

Spybot S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/)

For practically spyware free surfing, I'd recommend using Mozilla instead of Internet Explorer, as it'll keep you very clean.

Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox)

I've been using A-Squared (http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/) in addition to the previously mentioned programs. They have a free version (registration required) which so far I like.
