I heard that adult websites can expose computers to viruses, spyware, adware, and all sorts of other ills. They also cause PCs to crash for hours.

How is that possible? And I know adult sites refer to not just porn, what should also be avoided?

It's not just adult sites, it also applies to many other sites.

Use a good antivirus:
Avast anti-virus which better definitions, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit built in, faster and more reliable:

My wife's laptop has both the Adware Agent ZO, and Rouge Anti Spyware XP Anti spyware. We have Spyware Doctor on the computer, but every time it quarantines and says to restart the computer, it comes back. It has blocked our system restore, and now somehow has block us from even connecting to the internet.
Any suggestions?

You are infected with spyware if:

* You see too much pop-up advertisements.
* Your browser has toolbars that you haven't installed.
* Your homepage has changed (and you can't change it back).
* Other settings have changed without your permission.
* Your computer is slow.

The differences between spyware and adware are that spyware is used to collect Web sites, passwords and credit card numbers, while adware is used commercially to create a bunch of pop-ups.

I need a good spyware/adware cleaner, but I use Avast, so it has to work well with that. I'ver heard Adaware and Spybot are good, but are they the best?

I use Avast and recommend it to others, I also recommend the following:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?hhTest=1.

Download, install, update and select Full Scan.
Remove all infections that it finds after scan.

Spyware Doctor Free Basic Edition - Realtime monitoring:

http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack_installer_new.html?hl=en&gl=us&ciNum=12

Its free with Google pack, untick all boxes except Spyware Doctor. Download install, update and run.

A-Squared Free:

http://www.download.com/A-squared-Free/3000-2239_4-10262215.html

This is not a limited version but a full tool to clean your computer from Malware, Spyware, Trojans, Backdoors, Worms, Dialers and Keyloggers.
How to use:
Download, install and it will ask to check for updates, which should be allowed and will take a few minutes initially, it will then restart the program for updates to take effect. Click on Scan and ensure deep Scan is selected then click the Scan button.

Comodo BO Clean:

http://www.comodo.com/boclean/CBO_download.html

Simply download and install, follow instructions on screen.
Go here to see what it protects you against:

Spybot S&D:

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Download, install, update and Immunize, turn off Tea Timer then click 'Check for problems' then when complete select all and then 'Fix Checked'
Open Spybot, click on Mode, select Advanced, click on Tools then Resident and untick Resident 'Tea Timer'
Do NOT untick Resident 'SD Helper' as that is your protection.

AdAware 2008 is ok but slow and heavier on resources. I find the above selection works as a good combination with Avast and I import viruses and malware on a second machine to check removal programs, so this stuff has to be able to do what it claims. It works for me.
