Gotta agree with JohnR on this one - no one program seems to clean all the spyware/malware off a machine - frequently I run 3 programs on a machine to clean all of the stuff. Spyware can bring a machine to its knees. Ad-Aware SE, SpyBot Search & Destroy, Pest Patrol (older version better IMO), & Web Root Spy Sweeper has a fully functional trial download. Microsoft has a Beta version of their spyware detection and removal program that is free. I probably clean 5 to 7 machines a week of this stuff and it is a PITA.
