Spyware, Malware, Adware etc remover?
Hey I was just wondering if anyone knows a trustworthy FREE spyware etc remover? It's for my lady's laptop that clearly has infections and I was wondering if there was anything out there that was forfree and works to remove all these infections?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Be sure to get spyblaster too to prevent further attackings...
Also I suggest you get HijackThis to get a scan of whats running on your computer and post it as to see what spyware it is and also cause theres a few apps that get rid of certain spyware which is much more affective then multiple spyware remover apps.

I thought Spyware Doctor was one of those backdoor trojans that, on the surface, was the tool you actually wanted, but installs a trojan. I must be thinking of something else. I remember hearing about a piece of software or two that did that.

Do not mess with Hijack This unless directed to by someone who knows what they are doing. You can seriously screw up your computer with it.
