Most of them come with spyware integrated into their programs. so if you delete the spyware, the program becomes non usable. |

Do what people already said and get Adaware and Spybot. I found out that while Spybot misses some things, Adaware finds them, and vice-versa. It works really good, I've gotten all the spyware off my comp |

Its a sad world when we require a product like ad-aware. The internet should be free from all of that crap, imagine if your granda got the internet so she could send e-mail and download knitting patterns or something, and then she was bombarded by advertisements for shit like "big titted naturals" or "the swimsuit network" god damn it makes me angry.
