Every review I've read say that no anti-spyware program will catch  
everything. In addition to Microsoft's Defender I recommend  
Lavasoft's Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy. Both are free. Spybot  
and Defender both have active monitoring components that don't seem  
to overlap much. (Adaware also has active monitoring in the non-free  
version if I remember correctly.)

I'd recommend picking up a used or inexpensive PC rather than using  
emulation on an iMac. Surplus stores here is the SF bay area have  
used PIII computers with Windows 2000 or XP for only $70. P4 machines  
in the 2 GHz range can be had for around $200. Recently CompUSA had  
an amazing deal on a Compaq system that was only $200. And you might  
be surprised to find out  how inexpensive laptops in the 1Ghz range  
are on eBay.
