Free Adware Remover
If you’re concerned that you may have Adware on your computer, you’re not alone. It has become a mainstream problem and concern for computer users that they may have adware software on their computers. Generally speaking, software programs exist that are used to detect and give the user the ability to quarantine and safely remove the offending objects that are targeted as adware and spyware.
Ad-aware, from Lavasoft, sometimes misnamed as “Adware 6“, is one of the most popular software packages available. Generally, it is seen as being one of the best. Read more about and download Ad-Aware here.
AdwareRemover, also sometimes known as Adware 6, is another commonly used adware remover software programs. Learn more abut AdwareRemover here.
You may do well to give both software programs a try.

it only works on said Spyware adware in other words it will get most. Not an Anti-virus Product just ads.

Personally I like Spy Sweeper and XSoftspy a lot better than Ad-aware. Ad-aware misses things that these two seem to get, like rootkits.
Spysweeper does lots of other things to help guard your system, Ad-aware doesn’t.

I also have had good luck with www.spybot.com (we have no affiliation with them)

My pc recently starting running ‘ Adware ‘, and it is causing issues on my PC and knocks me off the internet. Most of the ads are for ‘ Spyware ‘ and ‘ so, called free scan analysis ‘. I am looking for something to download and search my pc for this adware and destroy it! Any suggestions?

Hi,
Using a combination of spywareblaster, which can be launched from inside spybot search and destroy which should tell you something
and setting your browser away from the defaults, especially IE, and sweeping with http://free.grisoft.com AVG anti-virus regularly (!) you can keep most pests from seeing your machine, much less infesting it. All for zero cost. If you get a good grip on your hosts file too you will very very rarely be attacked by anything/anyone you cruise past on the net. If you also use your router’s (or a free software one if you are on a modem) firewall properly no-one can force junk onto you. One of the biggest flaws in most people’s security is in the “advanced”, lol, options in IE like “enable install on demand” and “enable third party browser extensions” which, almost unbelievably, are on by default (!) If you catch something, or already have, google for “hijack this”. It works - but a word of warning here. Get someone, from one of the many forums that will help, to interpret it’s results as it does find all processes running on your computer and if you haphazardly remove them you will have a non-functioning machine pretty darn quickly (gulp)

I have tried out spybot but personally prefer XoftspySE because it has a better interface and is also very effective.

Spybot search and destroy is very powerful for spyware and adware removal but is quite slow sometimes which is why I prefer to go for reputable paid applications because they scan quicker.
