As title says, anybody know a decent spyware/adaware/popup remover, i'm using Firefox and i keep getting these silly page redirecctions to pages like AdultXXXFinder and stuff. It doesn't open a new window, it uses the one i'm currently looking at. Pain in the arse, thanks

Spybot too for me, and use Mozilla Firefox for browsing which comes with a pop-up blocker built in

Best protection is your head. Look what at your downloading and installing first, go to safe sites. Otherwise Spybot/adware etc ...

The google toolbar is pretty good for popup blockers.

I'm using XSpysoft. Used to use Adaware and Spybot, but I found them to be imperfect. Since installing XSpysoft I've been Spyware free. I recommend F-secure's virus software for an AV package. Better than Norton, MacAffee, etc

Agree with the person above. The first line of defence is your head. Try to avoid opening dodgy sites, watch your use of 3rd party cookies, don't open random emails, etc etc

Adaware and Spybot are free. Cool. But they do NOT remove everything. If you want a really good spyware remover, you're gonna have to spend some money (or rip it off of Bitcomet for free lol)

Microsoft Antispyware is not very good
Leave it going for a couple of weeks then run Spybot,
