You can download free software that will clean your computer. I've finally purchased the professional version that blocks it completely, but if you use the free version every day or so, you can at least get the stuff of your computer.

Try this website: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

I HATE spyware!

Here is one that gets rid of a lot of parasites. You can also look in your add/delete programs and get rid of anything that starts with my, like myspace, mytoolbar, etc.

It sounds like you got invaded by cool web search.
You need to find a program called cwshredder.
You should be abled to get it for free at www.download.com if not do a google search for it.

I have ad-aware, it is free.

I also have e-z virus, that is free for 2 years.

Just had a similar problem with my computer. I went to cybertechhelp.com and got step by step instructions from their forums. It's running great now.

AAACK, don't do ad-aware, that is spyware. It was the only thing that we couldn't get off with the spyware stuff.

You're thinking of adware, not Ad-aware. What the OP is referring to, is free software that scans your computer for spyware and removes it.

I've used ad-aware to remove spyware.

Yea, I had it and then couldn't remove it. It was my biggest Spywear problem.
Does adware remove spywear too?

Adware is spyware. The software called Ad-Aware, from Lavasoft will remove spyware.

The very best one I found, and I have used almost all those listed here is the FREE Microsoft Spywaresoftware. GO to MSN.com and downloads and look for spyware. I have a really bad attack and I used CWShredder and Ad-aware and they never got rid of the problem. Did the microsoft one and it found everything. It also blocks spyware and tells you when it stops something.
