How I can remove adware from my computer?

ad-aware is a good program for that. you can get it free at www.download.com In fact some suggest ad-aware and spybot both cause sometimes one misses what the other finds. But for me ad-aware is the one that usually does best.

Go to "My Computer" - "add or remove programs" look for it and remove it

for removing ad-aware and spyware the following is the best free program to use:\n\nhttp://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/\n\nFor pop up blocking you could use the in-built pop up blocker that comes with service pack 2 for windows, otherwise do what i do and use a different browser.. i use FireFox, get hardly any pop ups with this.\n\nTo be honest, once you have removed all the spyware and stuff from your computer you will barely get any popups so may not need a blocker

try spybot and adaware to fix problems. If they can not remove them try rougescanfix which is pretty good at removing this type of adware.

also hijackthis is very good. i use them both(inc ad aware). but you really need antivirus to stop the stuff getting there in the first place. and "spybot search and destroy" is good. \nbe careful, there are lots of fake ad removal tools that infect you more. if any of the above software finds CWS or cool web search, use CWS shredder. its the only thing that'll work. and maybe only download spyware removal tools from www.download.com or somewhere reputable.

You can download Adware from www.download.com\nEventhough this program removes most spyware, after using it, download spybot from www.download.com Spybot removes what adaware does not. Remember to fully update the program before using it. Spybot also immunizes your system from future spyware, so be sure to do that. After the tests are complete and u have removed everything u should download or buy some kind of firewall to prevent this to happen. I recommend AVAST antivirus which enables a script protector everytime u open ur internet explorer or netscape navigator... its is awesome and i recommend it for sure.
