Does anybody know a free spyware/adware remover?
I used to have one way back, but I deleted it and I don't remember the name. I only found trials. I have 1000 of those nasty things. |

Thanks for the help, but I bought a program instead. :(
I got Spyware Doctor, but I also have McAfee now too. McAfee won't install if I have Spyware Doctor, so how do I install McAfee? Safe mode? |

^ I think they mean the spyware that pops up on the start menu that says something like "Your computer is infected! You must download this free program!" and it's actually more spyware. It looks like it is a Windows Warning bubble, but it isn't.

I fell for that stupid program too. Delete it!
