I have tried free AdAware 6.0, free Spybot and the latest is the Giant AntiSpyware on a free trial. Giant seems the best but a lot of crap is still there.

Seriesly (sic), how do you know it is still there. I've been trusting AdAware to get everything, am I wrong?

Are you using AdAware pay version. I am using 6.0 and the freebie.

I will pay if it works. I used AdAware 6.0 (free version) but I was still getting junk. Maybe the pay version blocks the stuff.

I am just trying to get help and not trying to bash anyone or any software. This paarsite/adware/spyware is out of control. Thanks for any help.

Yes. All of these programs depend on how fast they can track down and counter the newest spyware and that you keep the databases updated (just like your antivirus). None are perfect but using 2 or 3 of the best can keep you very clean. I also use Ad-Aware but somebody else had already mentioned it.

Anyway, if you use more than one, you can see what the others may be missing!

And a Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well.
