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.

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\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.  Good luck and have a nice day!

Hi! I have a few good programs (that I have been trying thoroughly over the past few months) that are great for removing pesky spyware from your pc.  Either of the following two would work fine:\n\nSpybot Search and Destroy:\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nLavasoft Adaware Personal Edition:\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n\nAlso, in the upcoming version of Windows (named Vista), there is a chance we may have antispyware software integrated at no extra fee! (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx )\n\nAnd finally, CCleaner (CrapCleaner) is a great freeware programming for deleting junk files, effectively speeding up some areas of your PC that can slow it done over time.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com\n\nGood luck, you won't regret using these programs.

Please have the patience to read ALL of these, everything I have mentioned is free:\n\n1.Download CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ and run it once daily before shutting down your computer. It removes all the trash files that are created while surfing through the net. Use its Issues section once every 2 weeks to delete all the unused registry keys. If you have a lot of Auto Start entries, then you can remove them from its Tools>Startup. But keep the important ones like firewall and the real-time protection shields of your anti-virus and anti-spyware.\n\n2.Keep a decent anti-virus, a strong firewall and two anti-spyware in your computer. Always keep the real time protection shield(or resident shield) of the anti-virus and one of the anti-spyware active. Update them and scan your computer once every week with both the anti-spyware and once every 2 weeks with anti-virus. I have given the links to some free and good anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall; get them all:\nAVG:\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/softw/70free/set...\n\nAdAware SE:- http://www.download.com/ad-aware-se-pers...\nSpyBot Search and Destroy: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/spy...\n\nComodo Personal Firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/d...\n\nNever keep two anti-virus or firewall on a single system. If you are already using a good anti-virus or firewall, then you need not download the corresponding one.\n\n3.Keep a virtual memory booster as an auto-start entry. It frees the clogged RAM. I use RAM Booster, which is very effective. Here is the link to download it:\nhttp://www.download.com/rambooster/3000-...\nAfter downloading it, follow the steps:\n*.Cilck on Edit>Options and tick the follow options:\n1.Set auto optimisation on\n2.Show CPU usage\n3.Start minimised\n4.Launch automatically at start up\nAlso, increase the auto optimisation level and 'Mb of RAM to free at auto level' as per your requirement.\n\n4.Keep at least 35% of your C: free. Transfer all the music, image and video files to other drives.\n\n5.Defragment your hard drives(especially C:) once every month. To defrag, go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Defragment.\n\n6.Get the free Google Web Accelerator to boost up your computer speed. \n   http://webaccelerator.google.com/\n\n\n\nAll these will most certainly speed up your computer. Good Luck!\n:-)

download adaware by searching for it on yahoo... it gets rid of most spyware. You can also try to do a system restore if your pc supports it.

U have serious spyware issues and u r not able to remove it as these spyware have added themself to ur startup list. So to remove them first click on start go to "run"\nthen write "msconfig" and press enter then go to startup tab and uncheck everything beside ur virus scan or if u have dsl connection then leave the software of ur ISP then click on apply and restart the computer. then unistall all the spyware removing softwares from Add and remove programs cause if u have lot of spyware removal tools then sometime they identify each other as spyware. Then download ADaware Se personal from download.com and run this scan in the safe mode as there is no software running in the background in the safe mode of the computer and ur computer will be clean as a whistle.
