on my site i have a list of programs i've tested and confirmed with the guys here that are some great anti-crapware programs. I also link to a site that lists a bunch of known fake anti-crapware programs that you should stay away from  (btw...ad-aware and spybot together only detect about 50 to 60% of all the spyware out there. giant anti-spyware (now microsoft anti-spyware beta) was number one and webroot spysweeper was number two hope that helps! | |

I have decided something..
When I win the lottery.... 
I will get the nerdiest freaking computer geeks on the face of this earth and have them design me a program and a virus. This program will detect when someones system dumps stuff onto your computer. Then the program will send a virus directly back to the system.
The virus will make a little pop-up window the says...
Busted plus dirty words blah blah blah.
And crash the harddrive. 
Anyways I will make it a free program to all and we can stop retards who do this stuff.
This will all happen when I win the lottery! | |

Is Ad-ware not free anymore? I can't find a free version on their web site or on download.com.
I got spy-bot, but Ad-ware was a favorite for me.

ad-aware and spybot are not the end all fix all anti-spyware programs out there. these studies are a few months old, but at that time together they only caught about 76% fo the new spyware out. Giant spyware (now microsoft anti-spyware) was #1 and i believe it still is. If you can get microsoft anti-spyware i recommend it...if not then i recommend spyware doctor (free version is fine!). Lastly, I also recommend a-squared. As a side note the pesky stuff that these things can't remove can usually be nabbed by hijack this....all of these things can be found at my site. | |

Thanks for the help. It's really getting crazy, got to have 3 or 4 programs, not just one to clean it all up! | |
