I use hitmanpro, it is not a program that removes any adware or spyware itself, but it installs several of the anti adware programs alreasdy mentioned like adaware, and runs them. I have seen a test on these anti adware programs, there is none that removes them all, so you need to run more of these to catch it all, and hitmanpro does that for you. Besides that, you need to stop using Internet Explorer and use Firefox as your webbrowser, download it from http://www.mozilla.org
