My business is entirely dependant my websites and on my computers and I've tried a lot of anti-spyware software. As sirknight said, Microsoft's Anti Spyware Beta1 is free for the time being and it has been finding many things the others have not. I recommend it. Silverspike is correct that you need to be careful when visiting any unknown site. Nothing in the Trainorders announcement is unique to them. Any site that contains links to other sites, including this forum poses the same risk. It's common practice for a webmaster to remove links to sites that attempt to download spyware (or any software) on your computer without your knowledge. I would assume that if Trainboards went to the trouble of posting their common-sense warning, they would also remove links that they know to be hazardous. Windows users should always have their security settings set so as to prompt the user for downloading any ActiveX controls.This will at least give you a headup that a drive-by download is being attempted.
