Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.

Microsoft Anti-Spyware to scan and remove is the best and its free..http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx
Next is Adware se personal, not as good but still does the trick...also free..http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html
Then theres spyware blaster, this does not scan or remove any spyware on your computer, it merly immunizes it from getting anymore spyware as long as once a week you download the latest protection updates.
Obvousely the ones that cost money are better than the free ones. If you have ever want to buy one, I would buy spyware doctor, for only 30.00, its good.
For a spyware, and virues free computer, I have one suggestion...get a mac but if u don't, the programs I mentioned above, will get rid of guaranteed, 55%-70% of unwanted spyware and adware on your computer.

Answer 5

It's very hard for me to answer a question when the asker uses exclamation marks like they're the letter 'a'.

Firstly, yes. Spybot, Adaware and many others are available.

Secondly, doesn't this look good? "it scans and removes the adware and spyware for free!"....That is fine.
