  1. Anyone have any suggestions/advice on where I can download the best freeware adware or spyware "remover?" I have some spyware on my system I need to get rid of. I've deleted all my peer to peer software and everytime I search google for adware/spyware "free" removers I get sites that either charge for the stuff or that say it's "free" and then when you D/L it, the only thing that is free is the "searching" of spyware. The actual deletion costs money. What a pain.

    Anyone have any suggestions

  2. 2 biggies:
    Lavasoft AdAware, and
    Spybot Search & Destroy.

    Both free, both regularly updated, and both remove the crap. Get and use them both, and spyware will be a thing o' the past.

    Ad-aware is great. I just downloaded Spybot and I am very pleased with it.

    I liked Adaware until I D/l'ed Pest Patrol and it caught spyware that Adaware had missed (right after I made the mistake of joining Kazaa).

  9. I find spybot finds things adaware does not and vice versa.

    The two combined work flawlessly.
