All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nI-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you updat

There are too many to name.\n\nFor spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

Howdy\n\nI have two free spyware removal programs.  I've tried both and each of them work just as good for me!\n\n- Adaware Personal Edition - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n- Spybot: Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html\n\nI have a few Free Antivirus programs I can reccomend to you.. I have tried all of the following and liked them! :O)\n\nhttp://www.avast.com/ avast!\nhttp://www.free-av.com/ AntiVir HBEDV\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/ AVG Free Edition\n\nAlso, if your willing to experiment (this product as of now is still in testing)\nhttp://www.windowsonecare.com/ Windows OneCare Beta\n\nIf your fine with forking over a couple bucks, I have another solution -- I am VERY satisfied with the current version of Norton Systemworks. (http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/internet_security/nav2006/index.html ). This program is worth every cent, you won't be sorry!\n\nIf you would like to use Norton Antivirus for Free, along with many other tools (Adaware Personal Edition, for deleting spyware) it IS that is possible... You will have to download it through the google pack, which URL is provided here:\nhttp://pack.google.com/\n\nAlso, Check with your ISP (Internet Service Provider).  They are the people that connect you to the internet.  Sometimes your ISP can provide your with AntiVirus for free. (Netzero, AOL, comcast, etc, do.) :O)

Go into the control panel.  There should be, depending on what your control panel is set to, some link to add/remove programs.  Go through that and remove anything you don't want.\n\nAlso, it's probably a good idea to install and run an anti spyware program.  I always like Spybot Search & Destroy:\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/

Try ewido\nDownload it here:\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/\n\nThe scanner is free.  It does a great job of removing spyware and malware, and catches stuff missed by Adaware and Spybot.  The active blocking of spyware portion of the software costs money but has a free 14 day trial.  The scanner portion is free and needs to be manually updated to get the latest spyware definintion files.
