What is the best FREE way to REMOVE Spyware from my computer?

[Inyaface13]

I just did a free scan on my computer and I have over 80 Spyware infections.
Including trojans and worms.

Is there a FREE way to REMOVE them?

another question...

If I restore my computer 100% will they be gone?

I would try AVG, i had avg free trial scan for about a year and its a life saver it removes every virus spyware, it warned me that I was entering a fake site once so I left lol etc, but mine expired last month so I dont know if you can still get the free trial. If you restore your computer the spyware might be gone, I remember some of my applications on AVG wernt working for example firewall, e-mail scanner so i restored my computer and they are working fine and it hasnt gone wrong like it did, so it might work it might not, have ago and find out:).

download adaware free edition or spybot. i use both of them and my computer is spyware free

[pavementpoop]

i use spy-ware or adware same thing its free and helps a bit, but your best best is to purchase one for cash because u get what you pay for. but heres a download for a free ad-aware to remove spy-ware:

AVG is the way to go honestly. Love the program. The free version is still available right now actually. Just you have to keep updating it manually. That's the big difference between the free and the paid (besides all the bells and whistles of tech support and stuff).

Here is the link to the free edition: Click Here (http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html)

Enjoy!:)

Malwarebytes really help me out with the spyware i had in my computer. U can get it almost anywhere and it free.

I recommend AVG as well. Have been using it for quite some time and has saved me a lot of headache.

I use AVG. It is updated every single day.

The best FREE way to STAY AWAY from Spyware from your computer would be to STOP watching all that PORN!

The best FREE way to REMOVE Spyware from your computer would be to STOP watching all that PORN! Haha, thats the best way to avoid getting it in the first place though, not remove it! Have a look for a program called Search and Destroy; that's always worked well for me in the past.
EDIT - By the way, if by restore you mean re-install windows or whatever you're using, yeah having a fresh start will remove the spyware, along with most other files on the hardrive though.

all sites give you spyware not just porn. I use adaware and spybot. They both work great.

[Skillet]

I use Spybot: Search and Destroy.

That's rare though. Most of the time, I use AdAware.

Just go to the download page of http://www.pcworld.com and look for them in the spyware prevention section or something like that...

They're usually at the top.

[Gun-Nut]

I use Spybot - Search & Destroy and that's all :) seems to do the trick with no problems.

[jorGe62990]

I would have to recommend Ad-Aware as well. It is a free and simple program that clears about 90% of the spyware from your computer. To clean 100% of the garbage, you're gonna have to use multiple programs because each one misses a few that the other one picks up. If it's really bad, consider backing up any files/programs and just re-format.

Ad-ware, Spybot Search and Destory and SpywareBlaster. These 3 usually do the job for me

Yes AVG is good, although I'm currently using avast!, which a friend recommended. He has used avast! for years, and his company had to use it recently when Sophos (a retail antivirus) failed to protect their systems.

avast! seems very good so far too, and it's totally free!

Do a full system restore and BOOM! gone :)
