I have been having to scan my computer every few days or so, and every time, I find numerous adware bugs that I have to quarentine. How is adware threatning to my computer, and what are some good programs to help prevent it. I am currently using Symantic (I think that's how it's spelled) software, but it doesn't seem to be very effective towards adware appearing on my computer.

I am not a computer expert, but I think the symantec is for virus protection, for spy ware, I use spybot and it works fine for me.
I has adaware from lavasoft and AWG, but they are only trial periods and once they expired I take the next one. Spybot so far I think it's the best.
