To remove spyware and adware you should download Adaware and spybot search and destroy, those two are some of the most efficient spyware removers i have used.
you can find Adaware at www.lavasoft.com and just do a google for spybot, i cant think of their website right now. or you could try to use my work ftp server, brubakercomputer.com it should have everything you need.
