No single tool yet provides detection and removal of all Adware and Spyware.
1. Lavasoft's Adware has been redone and works well, finding some things
that SpyBot does not. www.lavasoftusa.com Shareware now.
2. Pest Patrol always finds things that SpyBot and Adware do not.
www.pestpatrol.com Shareware.
3. Spybot Search & Destroy seems to have gone downhill some, over the past
60 days. That happens with free software, after creators of same get tired
of maintaining it for no profit. Still, pretty good, for the free price.

4. RapidBlaster deletes the extremely irritating new kind of ad, that pops
up randomly on your PC. Free.

5. Shoot-the-Messenger. Disables MS Messenger function(s) that permit
similar, irritating ad popups. Free. http://grc.com/dcom/
As tools get better at detecting and removing these irritations, creators of
these irritations continue to innovate with increasingly difficult to find
and remove ad blasters. No different than viruses or spam.
Does anyone use any really, really good spam killers, that don't kill emails
worth receiving?
