It is called Spybot Search and Destroy and it is FREE!!

It really cleaned up my computer.
Just make sure to do the update so that you get all
7500 adware signatures...
I just downloaded and ran this on a computer that I could not stop pop-ups on, I used AdAware first and removed all 400 entries. After rebooting the cpu I tried the Internet again, pop-ups continued... at a slower rate than before but still there.

Downloaded and tried the spyboot - search & destroy, this got another 29 files and registry entries and there has been no popups since the last scan.
It's an AMD Athlon with OS = W98 and IE6 with sp1 as the browser.


I have another computer that I'm going to try this on (It's the sacrificial lamb in my DMZ, it's due for a re-install.... Blaster worm is killing it ) I'm going to remove the virus and then run the spyboot - search & destroy
