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 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. -
same here, i've used both those prog's for a long time, never a problem
-
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).
-
I find spybot finds things adaware does not and vice versa.
The two combined work flawlessly. -
Ad-Aware
Spybot
...and the not yet mentioned enough but will be soon SpywareBlaster from Javacool. (just installed this one, its a blocker, not a remover, and its sweet)
