Do you know any good free software I could download to get rid of spyware?? It's bugging my Internet connection and my Norton Antivirus protection.

Get the following programs Spybot, Adaware and Spywareblaster(Active X protection) from http://wilders.org/ Wilders also has a forum that can assist with the difficult spyware problems. A couple of other websites dedicated and really are good at assisting people with spyware removal are spywarewarrior and spywareinfo. Many people are switching to Mozilla and especially Firefox due to all the IE vulnerabilities. I have found that the security setting at PC Pitstop to be very good at protecting me. Use the full performance scan, and then use their security autofix after your security settings fail. Make sure anyone that uses your computer knows that any website popup that pops up is to be checked NO, DELETE or IGNORED! HTH

Try downloading SpyBot Search and Destroy, along with HiJackThis (although you will need to be careful with this one). I think we should find a way to severly infect the machines of the developers of this crap and if there was a way to do it, let their systems become so overloaded that their monitors explode in their face and shot tiny peices of glass into their puny little brains. Maybe that would stop this crap from ever infecting anyones machines.

If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.
