i downloaded a spyware scanner program on my computer and i did a full scan. when it was done it found many and i mean many spyware on my computer. when i wanted to delete it i couldn't because first i have to purchase it, which i don't want to do. is there any free or trial version i could download of spyware removal. i already have adaware 6.0 and i use it but i want a spyware removal. |

Except for the fact that it likes to label software that competes with Microsoft's own as spyware. |

Yes, Microsoft's is actually really good. Just make sure you look through the list to make sure it's only deleting spyware  .
I use Spybot when I'm on Windows, however. |

Everyone take note. Martin advocates use of Microsoft's anti-spyware program... just not with Windows. |

Pardon my illiteracy. What I mean to say was install linux and forget about spyware. |

we should forgive him, he's probably a bit confused from all the top secret stuff he's going (like apparently running MS spyware on linux  ) |

hey its possible , VM ware is the Devil i say And if Linux is giving you a hard time , jsut Go to mac, then all your Virus Spyware and Adware problems are gone , becuase hte index of such files is apparantly 17 in total. OHHHH AHHHHHH Take Advantage of all the Apps . and then tell us which one worked best or what found the most , Id like to get a good review of them when used together , My lack of a Windwos machine kinda stops me form performing such a task |

You poor soul. You mean to tell us you don't have the pleasure of spending all day reviewing anti-malware apps? |
