The only sure fire way to get rid of spyware is to "nuke" your pc and reload it from scratch. I have probably spent upwards of a day and a 1/2 sometimes trying to clean up PC's of spyware/adware.

Now if it takes more than 2 hours i just nuke it, at least that way I know it will be all set when I'm done.

another thing that helps is to stay off of the "joke" sites. these things are filthy w/ spyware. same goes for Free Fonts, Free Pics, Free Music and anything else w/ the word free.

I have been playing w/ the new Microsoft Spyware package and it does show some promise but it still isn't a 100%
