SpyDawn is a rogue anti-spyware application that is installed on your computer without your permission using Trojans and other malware. These types of programs are typically installed when a user installs what they think is an audio or video codec, but in reality is a Trojan that downloads and installs SpyDawn. When run, SpyDawn pretends to be a anti-spyware application but instead provides exaggerated or fake results of Spyware found on your computer. In order to clean the found items you must purchase the full commercial version of the SpyDawn software. These false results are actually used as a scare tactic to have you purchase the SpyDawn. It goes without saying that you should not purchase this software

Once installed, SpyDawn will issue fake security warnings that your computer is infected with spyware. SpyDawn uses such agressive advertising techniques in order to goad you into purchasing their commercial product. SpyDawn, as well as other unwanted software, can be difficult to detect and even more difficult to remove but knowing the SpyDawn symptoms can start you on the road to having a SpyDawn-free computer. Try to search some more information about SpyDawn elimination from your system on the internet. There is some good stuff on http://www.spywareremove.com/removeSpyDawn.html
Good luck ;)

Buy something liike spy sweeper which I hear is really good but also Spyware Doctor. If you have the extra cash go ahead and buy a Security Suite ( it has all the components you will ever need for security.)

Ad Aware SE is a freebie and the best tool I have found yet. Make sure you get the free one. And there are several versions spelled like it to get you to buy them.
