I'm in need of some serious help. Does anyone know where to get a free spyware remover that *actually* removes spyware. (I say "free" because I don't have money.) Many of them say they both detect and remove, but the one's I've downloaded only detect. That's pretty useless. I have 227 spyware programs on my pc, which causes annoying popups every couple of minutes (usually in waves rather than a single popup ad at a time). Can anyone help?

How did you get so much spyware, anyway?

Most people regard me as the dark and immoral side of Massassi. At least I'm getting what I want out of life.

One acronym: AOL.
That should explain it all.

I switched to SBC Yahoo! DSL.

Anywho, thanks ev'rbody. Spybot only found 30 (plus 150 potential), but I'll wait and see if it's still a problem, or if the last program I used found some that weren't really spyware.
