What free programs really work for adware and junk?
I am already running AVG and occasionally Spybot search and destroy…What I want to know: What are the best and cheapest Adware programs? Should I purchase something outside of the net? Also tried Ice…Thank you
here are some free anti spyware products: http://www.2-spyware.com/compare2.php
free programs do the same job as paid one, however free ones usually are incomplete, like on free adware you can turn add-watch on.

I’ve got Avast, and it seems to be working fairly well for a free program.

Here are some antispyware applications for your consideration. All are free. Just check periodically for updates.
====================
Spyware Blocker
This is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources. It blocks spyware before it installs.
SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool)

====================
AntiSpyware Applications
SuperAntispyware

AVG AntiSpyware
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating)

(These programs can be run in Safe Mode after installation and updating)

ccleaner.com is my favorite program. it also cleans up your registy for you. i’m sure if you try it you will really like it.

Your brain is your best defense. Be more careful when you surf the net. Get FireFox for general surfing. Visit http://www.mozilla.com
Learn how to avoid trouble, but looking at the URL during searches and decide if that name is TOO BOGUS to be real. Close ALL windows immediately when you see trouble.
Get street smart.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

no one program is best. run several and each one will come up with different results. you have run some of the better ones but there are others including online scans.

I’ve just downloaded the free SUPERantiSpyware and it’s found loads of stuff that Spybot has missed!

I know what works for me, but you will have to experiment, like i did, to find what works for you, I have a combination of AVG AntiVirus, SUPERantispyware, AVG AntiRootkit and Ccleaner, I have successfullyremained infection free for the last 12 months with this combination, but what you have to bear in mind is 2 thing’s,
1. mysurfing habits may be different to yours.
2. new forms of malware are apearing every day and no protection method that works today, will be guaranteed to work successfuly in 3 to 6 months.
