what are the best Free Adware/spyware removal programs?
i am using adaware se and spybot search & destroy but many other programs say they find more problems but charge for fixing them
Here you are:
Pick and choose at least 2 from the list below. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.
Spybot Search and Destroy:
