I scanned my computer with a free scanner, I have over 200 "things" of spyware on my computer...I want to remove it but I don't know where I can get a good free remover on the net. I tried googling it, but every one I tired said I needed to pay and sh*t to get rid of it. So annoyed. Do you know of any that can help my poor computer and my sanity?

Ad-Aware. That's what I use.

But It's not good for the first time you scan your computer. Because when I did it, I had 824 spy ware applications and I had to click them each manually. EVERY SINGLE ONE. EIGHT HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR CLICKS.

Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy is the most common spyware remover. Search for both of these programs on google or something.

You also can use a popup blocker to stop most spyware from appearing (since people get most of these spyware stuff from popups)

Alot of people seem to use ad-aware..so you should use that
Note
lol. someone in my school [ no names whistling.gif ] almost got caught looking at porn, so he just switched of the computer without clicking on shut down and all that crap. he turned it back on and his desktop was full of popups. but with my skills, i fixed it for him...........eh, i just deleated everything [even the recycle bin] and installed window xp2 for him. took everything away. yup, his files, games, porn, and popups. mellow.gif

Barely_coherent - rofl, with SE you can right click>select all.

Spybot and Adaware is what you need.

I use ad-aware and spybot (search & destroy) together...they are both free and work really well....but i also use Mcafee, but i'm not sure if i payed for it or not

AVG from grisoft.com and Zone Alarm from zonelabs.com are both great anti-virus and firewall utilities. Then, in addition, get Ad-Aware from lavasoft.com and Spybot Search&Destroy from safer-networking.org These along with Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/central.html or anything other then IE) make your computer almost 90% safer.

Adaware's the best, in my opinion.

I have that prog. and you just right click on one object and click "Select All Objects" LOL! I cant believe you clicked all of them!

Anyway I suggest Ad-Aware SE
comeupon
Ad-aware is the best free program, spybot is ok but having both on your computer actually weakens both programs. Also everyone who uses IE should have CWSshredder on their computer too. Another great tool is Ccleaner, cleans all you internet files, cookies, unused files, and everything else. Hell just go to Major Geeks
freeflow
