i am using adaware se and spybot search & destroy but many other programs say they find more problems but charge for fixing them

Here you are:

Pick and choose at least 2 from the list below. New spywares are created literally hourly, so no single anti-spyware can really detect all malware. Have at least 2 on hand and alternate scanning with each every few days or so. All are free. All can remove as well as detect.

Spybot Search and Destroy:

Unfortunately, many "paid for" anti-spyware products are in fact either of limited usefulness or downright scams. When in doubt, look at the list of rogue anti-spyware solutions listed here:

And to protect your computer from ever getting infected with spyware in the first place, you can use these 2 freebies:

I recently acquired a spyware application on my PC. It flashes an icon in my tool bar, prompting me to buy removal software. And, it won't let me delete it without a purchase. I've run several full sweeps with WebRoot's Spy Sweeper, and, have run a couple of full Norton virus scans. The icon still appears, even after many restarts. All items were either quarantined, or removed, according to both programs. It's dug in deep. Help, please.

Unfortunately, the really aggressive stuff poses a problem for the vast majority of scanners out there today. Spysweeper is actually one of the better options for protecting your computer. Spy Doctor does a pretty good job as well. It may be worth looking into for you.

If your problem is on a business machine though, there is a better option for you. ItSoftware (http://itSoftwareProducts.com ) has two products whose spyware detection is better than anything else out there (Repelit and Scrubit). The only problem is they don't have personal versions, only corporate.

in got spyware and i need to get it off, can anyone tell me some good free spyware removal programs? and i remember this one that worked well and it was called "(blank)bytes"
