I suggest Spybot or Spykiller.
Get adaware and spybot...
They usually do the trick.
Google each.
Go to www.adaware.com. Download the free adaware tool. It'll clean all the gunk out of your machine.
Will they get rid of spyware that is already infecting the computer?
Go to wwww.majorgeeks.com and download Spybot Search and Destroy (it is free and powerful). Update it on a regular basis. Since I downloaded it, I have not had any spyware problems.
I have gotten rid of ALL adware using ALL-In )ne-Secretmaker that I dl at download.com.
And it is free.
Yup.
Is that www.adware.com or www.adaware.com?
Go download Adaware or spybot (I think that's the name of the second one) it's free and it'll id and quarenteen all those malware, spyware, etc programs for you. I don't know what ports you've got open but you can use a program called bullguard, it's internet based firewall/anti-virus (both protects and disinfects) and sandbox tool. Costs $5/month and gives you a 100mg backup emergency storage off your computer. Want more, got to pay more. It updates constantly too.
Go here, read the instructions, then follow them. You won't be sorry, and will learn a lot. Good Luck. :-)

adaware. Spybot is also good.

Adaware, SpySweeper (by Webroot), Spybot, are all good.
I'd also recommend "Registry Optimizer". You can get all of these at www.download.com
Good luck!!
Spybot and Ad-Aware are both free and easy to download and use.
It doesn't matter if you have Norton or McAfee. You must still use the above daily!
Until Congress passes laws making hackers and malicious attackers punishable with severe penalties, there is not much recourse.
My recommendation is to give them (malwarers) the Teri Schiavo treatment!
