For spyware I would recommend AdAware

Answer 2

Try some of the programs that have already been mentioned first, but the most effective way, and the only way to be 100% sure that its removed is to reinstall Windows from the original disks that came with your computer, back up your user files first or they will be lost, then after you have a fresh install run Windows Update and apply all the critical updates.

Answer 3

Adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Spybot S&D http://www.get-spybot.com/en/ AVG Antivirus www.grisoft.com

Answer 4

Spyware can collect many different types of information about a user. More benign programs can attempt to track what types of websites a user visits and send this information to an advertisement agency. More malicious versions can try to record what a user types to try to intercept passwords or credit card numbers. Yet other versions simply launch popup advertisements. While some forms of spyware can certainly be considered malicious, some on the other hand certainly are not, and are more passive in nature by just watching, observing, and collecting information.


I suggest you use a good spyware resource to delete the spyware present on your computer such as :
