    Avast is a good security. Adware works decently enough to remove spy ware.

    as corny as it sounds

    Superanitspyware is an awesome free program that i use.

    I know your thinking that sounds to damn cheesy to work but..to be honest its the best free program iv used. and iv used pretty much all of them.

    Plus its good to have multiple spyware,virus,maleware detecting programs just in case the first program misses one.

    Another good one is Malewarebytes

    http://www.malwarebytes.org/

    and one more for good measure is Avira

    http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php


    Note all of these programs either are free or have free versions of them self..and they work great. Iv used them all.

    well what kind of system do you have? whats the specs on it?

    Running those programs that i listed with help a bit if you do have an infestation of crap on there.

    Run disk clean up and then Defrag your hard drive that will help a good bit.

    Knowing what specs your system will let me know if you need to upgrade in any area.

    Get ccleaner, to clean up all the junk files on your computer. As far as cleaning up spyware/viruses, I use spybot, adaware and AVG. You can download it all at filehippo.com

    *edit... they are all free
