Yeah , i agree with jeepfreek21. Im actually running both ad-aware and spybot search and destroy. But thats just cause i HATE spyware. Sometimes you can get rid of the stuff through "add-remove programs", but alot of the spyware has applications running that will know if you try to remove it and stop your computer from executing the removal process, if you try to remove something and it says you have to go online to remove it, its probably one of them. I had this happen with n-Case and 180solutions. To get rid of them i edited the registry on my computer. that took care of it. If that other stuff doesnt work i can show you how to do the registry thing. its not hard.
