For spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nBefore scanning, update your spy definitions first.\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nI-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.

For Anti-Spyware I have found that no one program is the best. I use Microsoft AntiSpyware and Spybot: Search and Destroy. Both have easy interfaces and get the job done.

Personally I think Mcafee works great. \nSpyware using a combination of spyware programs works great.\n\nSuch as Windows Defender 2.0 beta, Adware 6.0, and Spybot.\nAlso when running any spyware programs it's more efficent if you run them in "Windows Safe Mode with networking"

Free and reliable spyware removers are: \n\nSpybot Search and Destroy  - get it at http://www.safer-networking.org\n\nAdaware - get it at http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware\n\nMicrosoft Windows Defender at http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\n \nOnce you download/install the programs, be sure to UPDATE!  This ensurees that you have the very latest protection, not just the latest as of the day it was archived!  \n\nAlso, for best results, pick up all three programs, or at least two of them - Don't rely on just one to find everything.  Some are better than others at detecting specific spyware types.\n\nSet your programs to automatic update, or remember to update them regularly.\n\nGood luck.\n\nWhat the heck, while you're at it, pick up an Antivirus program too.  Suggest AVG FREE at http://free.grisoft.com

Howdy\n\nI have two free spyware removal programs.  I've tried both and each of them work just as good for me!\n\n- Adaware Personal Edition - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n- Spybot: Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html\n\nI have a few Free Antivirus programs I can reccomend to you.. I have tried all of the following and liked them! :O)\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/ avast!\nhttp://www.free-av.com/ AntiVir HBEDV\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/ AVG Free Edition\n\nAlso, if your willing to experiment (this product as of now is still in testing)\nhttp://www.windowsonecare.com/ Windows OneCare Beta\n\nIf your fine with forking over a couple bucks, I have another solution -- I am VERY satisfied with the current version of Norton Systemworks. (http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/internet_security/nav2006/index.html ). This program is worth every cent, you won't be sorry!\n\nIf you would like to use Norton Antivirus for Free, along with many other tools (Adaware Personal Edition, for deleting spyware) it IS that is possible... You will have to download it through the google pack, which URL is provided here:\nhttp://pack.google.com/\n\nAlso, Check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider).  They are the people that connect you to the internet.  Sometimes your ISP can provide your with AntiVirus for free. (Netzero, AOL, comcast, etc, do.) :O)

I use "Ad-Avare SE" and "Advanced Spyware Remover".  They are both free and seem to work well.

imho the best spyware/adware removal software must often update definitions as new spyware appears every week :( also good antispyware should do deep file scan to find all the malicious files. \noh and one more advantage for security program is to have a real-time protection to stop spyware from getting on your machine.\nhere you can find a list of spyware/adware removal:\nhttp://www.2-spyware.com/anti-spyware
