On my "Computer Support" page, I have links to three programs that have been recommended on the Web ProWorld site and others. They take care of many things that anti-virus programs don't even know about. One is Ad-Aware which will remove a lot of unwanted cookies and related files, Easy Cleaner which cleans up your registry entries and some other things, and SpyBot-Search&Destroy which is probably the most powerful because it removes not just cookies and unwanted registry entries but also spy-ware programs themselves. I use these on all five of my (Windows) systems and on my customers systems. My sisters computer had a spy-ware marketing program that virtually locked up her computer because it would try to connect to it's owners web site every minute or so. SpyBot found and removed it along with it's registry entries.
