www.ad-aware.com

Removes spyware, adware, etc...

Basicly gets rid of all the crap that gets automatically downloaded with some programs and just by visiting some websites.

Yeah.

The reason I finally got it was because I had a couple of new toolbars show up in IE. Damn self-downloading programs. :mad:
