[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 216344, member: 2727"] Another is spybot search and destroy. [url]http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html[/url] I have used both programs like the ad-aware by lavasoft and spybot and have had good results. Reason why I use two different ones (But never run at the same time) is because one or the other very well could be more updated then the other. I always make sure that they are both updated and will run each program seperately. You could have spyware that one of these programs will catch but the other does not on the same machine. I also have used AVG and for the most part due to my being vigilance have had good luck with it. What is most important is keeping it all updated. If your computer is really buggy right now though, I would go fetch yourself a 30 day trial of either nod32 [url]http://www.eset.com/[/url] Or do a 30 day trial with Kaspersky.

AVG removal utility: [url]http://www.grisoft.com/us.download-tools[/url] run the file AVGREMOVER.EXE wait until the utility finishes its work restart your easy child rerun installation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus version 2009 AVG and the others are decent programs if you are vigilant at keeping it up to date.
