Also quite a few firewall programs can block anything from accessing registery and / or placing tracker cookies, but the two programs above will both catch anything that does get through.
If you haven't got a hardware firewall, get hold of blackice defender or zonealarm, Zone alarm is probably easier to use, but Blackice is a pretty solid firewall.

Also install Spyware Blaster - this will stop most stuff even being installed in the first place.
