Try Spy Sweeper, Webroot has a free trialware good for 15 days.  If you aren't going to any other websites after cleaning your system and reinfecting it, someplace on your computer they are being rewritten.\n\nSpy Sweeper has never let me down, it even cleaned out the last vestiges of the nefarious CoolWebSearch that Adaware and Spybot missed.  But, it slows my computer to less than a crawl.

All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-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.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!

There are many anti-spyware & anti-virus solutions that are free.  Try these...\n\nhttp://www.ewido.net\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/

There are too many to name.\n\nFor 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.\n\nGood 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.
