    Where can I find a GOOD FREE adware deleter that actually deletes the adware without claiming to be free and saying you got to buy the thing if you want to delete the adware.

    Don't know any, but adaware 6 messed up my svchost.exe thing. I dont suggest it.

    Adaware is very useful to me (maybe not to some people), as well as SpyBot Search and Destroy, although I don't have a link offhand. I'm sure someone around here does though, and they'll post it.

    Ad-Aware does that, you don't have to pay to delete the stuff it finds.

    DaMu i dont think your ever gonna find a great free ad/spy where remover. Its the kind of software that requires updates weeklyl and im guessing its boring work.
    Personaly i use <a href='http://www.admuncher.com' target='_blank'>Ad Muncher</a>, witch removed ads/popys. It does not have any spyware search egine. But thats not needed either, since it stops the spyware before its downloaded. <a href='http://www.admuncher.com' target='_blank'>Ad Muncher</a> is not free, its like 30$, but its updated more often they i bother to update it on the client. ( Beta version are found in the irc channel ). There is a 30 day trial of this software, it does not contain any nagware. I recommend trying it, and they buying it if you want it.

    I used to say Ad-Aware was the best ever, until I tried Spybot S&D and it found a lot of registry keys Ad-Aware missed.

    Aye. I ran Ad-Aware once, then my friend said he'd hurt me if I didn't try Spybot. So I did, and it did everything faster, easier, and better.

    With friends like that...
    Edit: I use Ad-Aware, it's a complete waste of my time. It always finds lots of cookies, but never any Adware. Then again, there's nothing to suggest that I HAVE Adware, so I may be lucky.

    Yeah, definately go with Spybot S&D. Ad-Aware is crap.
