I find the best way for me to get rid of spyware is to use two programs. I use Adaware and Spyware. I restart the computer in safemode that way only the necessary programs will run at startup and allow for the programs to successfuly remove any spwyware that are running or not. Also download the additional Adware plugins such as the VX2 cleaner, etc and before you do any scanning make sure after installing you download all the updates for each program.

imo - there is no such thing as freeware, many programs that say they are free and are free of adware come with adware built in, esp programs that tell you to uncheck boxes...
imo use firefox (tabs rule) or opera (sp) as its now free..
(yes it is free, but down not have adware lol)
also watch where you surf, and what you click, popup? - don click them
just like emails when you say unsubscribe it makes it worse..
