Hey. Is there a program that gets rid of ALL adware??? Please don't list any ones that don't work and just an adware themselves! I see so many fakes out there. Norton AntiVirus 2004 and Zone Alarm don't work, but they keep me safe. I need to find a program that deletes ALL of it from my computer.

No doubt about it, AdAware does a superb job of detecting and eliminating spyware.
However, it's been known to miss spyware which Spybot Search & Destroy will find.
The reverse is also true; it can't hurt to use both.

Agreed, the two seem to do a great job.
You can spend money for 'all the time' protection, but I think scanning as needed or regularily is sufficient.

Hello Johnni; also install SpywareBlaster. It will run silently in the background and prevent spywares from getting into your computer in the first place. All you have to do is check it for updates periodically.
I have Adaware, Spybot, and SpywareBlaster running simultaneously; they all work great together. Hope this helps!! ~Tommyo
