How much money is made by anti-virus, anti-adware, pop-up blocker companies and such to stop the adware?
No idea. And to be honest, I consider your question irrelevant.
There are many free programs which deal with spyware, etc., such as
Ad-Aware SE and
Sybot - Search & Destroy.
(See my FR homepage for more.)

Am tech challenged and don't know what to do.

Great info on your homepage. How about including Stinger form McAfee. It's a free quick download and will root out viruses. It's free because it's no frills and doesn't protect

It is not irrelevant since so many people are absolutely ignorant of the freeware programs and gladly spend big bucks on the "pro" versions.

I run X-cleaner and it "removes" the same programs every time, but the next time I turn on my computer X-cleaner finds the same programs it "removed" again. I was told that they were installed on my harddrive. Do you have any ideas to help me?
