Well if it is indeed adware and spyware, your best bet is adware and spyware removal programs. \n\nSpybot is probably the best spyware removal program, as it is free (they work only on donations), quick, and effective most of all. \n\nAd-aware is great for adware, and also has a free version with no BS sewn into it. \n\nBoth of these have saved my butt many, many times. And keep on working for me. The links are in my sources.

errr ... you need to be more specific ...\n\n\nTry using and running Adaware. This should find and delete any spyware/adware on your computer. (it's free)\n\nhttp://www.download.com/ad-aware-se-pers...\n\nAlso, get an anti-virus programme on your computer. A very good free one is avg antivirus\n\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/\n\nAlso, to help clean out any unwanted useless files, you can download ccleaner (crap cleaner) - it's also free.\n\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/\n\nI use all three of them, and I think they all work brilliantly, never had any problems with any of them.

Ok here's what you do:\n\n1)  Download SpyBot Search & Destroy, AdAware, and Spy Sweeper (search on the net, first 2 are free and you can get the third as a trial version)\n2)  Download a personal firewall like ZoneAlarm or Kerio if you don't already have one installed.  Run it.\n3)  Run scans with all 3 of the programs I mentioned first.  This will clear your computer of all the spyware and adware you might have.  \n\nThe firewall will protect you from a good deal of malicious things on the net, but not all.  To ensure your computer stays clean, keep updated versions of SpyBot and AdAware and scan about once a week.  \n\nThis should fix your problems.  Spy Sweeper is a one-time thing, as the trial expires after 30 days, but it can detect a couple of things that SpyBot and AdAware can't.

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

There's a lot of anti-spyware software out there to help you get rid of spyware. . . try "Yahoo Toolbar" which includes anti-spyware program or try Microsoft anti-spyware tool found in the downloads section of their webpage www.microsoft.com\n\nThese are just some of the free versions of anti-spyware and are just as good as some of the versions able to be purchased at sites such as www.download.com

Yes, here are a couple free programs to get rid of your spyware. Do a full system scan and then remove the items the program finds.\n\nhttp://www.download.com/Spyware-Center/2001-2023_4-0.html?tag=dir

Use your firewall software to block internet access for that programme and then uninstall the prog and run anti-spyware software

Add CCleaner and use it to clear both the system and registry.\nThen check for spyware using AdAware and Spybot S&D to catch ALL the spyware. One doesn't catch all.\nThen run a free ROOTKIT detector. This is different from the other solutions.\nIf you have a rootkit, you need a professional to remove it.

Install Kazaa then remove all spyware:\n\nGet the latest versions of “spybot search and destroy” and “ad-aware” from downloads.com.  (If you were my customer, I’d have you download them more quickly from one of my servers).  Then install them.  Then update to the latest versions of them.  Then run the “immunize” function from within “spybot”.  Then empty your trash can.  Install and run “crap cleaner” from http://www.ccleaner.com .  Then run a full scan with the spybot and ad-aware programs.  Update your virus-scanner to the latest version.  If you do not have a virus scanner, get a free non-commercial version from http://free.grisoft.com – it does a decent job and doesn’t cost anything.  Make sure and run a full scan with your virus-scanner too.  When anything is found, fix/remove it and restart your computer.  Following the above should greatly improve your internet speed, computer response time and data security.\n\nFor more information, please see the “Computer Repair/Technical Support” link on http://www.jsh.biz/ .  Have a pen and paper ready because I’ll give you all of the instructions that you need in less than 10 minutes to try and keep your costs down to under $10.  I think that’s a pretty good deal to get all of that info for less than $10.
