Run them in that order, SpyBot first, Adware second.

Thank you, I’ll remember them in that order.

Spybot S&D found 135 somethings and I cleaned them.

Now, on the Ad-ware 2007 it found 456 items. I'm on the part that has suggestions on the bottom that asks you----

1)Add to ignore
2)Quarantine
3)Remove
System Restore.

Which one should I click on?

Be very careful... it isn't "Adware" it's "Ad-Aware"... and there is a huge difference. "Adware" is actually more of a trojan that installs more spyware and adware on your computer...

Run them in that order, SpyBot first, Adware second.

First make sure you run a good anti-virus application such as AVG from Grisoft and make sure your Ad-Aware and SpyBot Search and Destroy are up-to-date... even if you just downloaded them.
