 Go to www.download.com, then search + download Adaware, Spybot, Spyware Doctor, and SpySweeper.

They'll clear off alot of it.

Quantum-locked when observed.

 What I just do is remove it manually.

Once I locate a spyware program on my computer, I Google its program name. This will give me a bunch of sites (most of which try to sell spyware removal products) that tell me about the file, including how to remove it (eg: which registry entries to edit, if there's an uninstall file, et cetera).

I like zapping spyware :D

Meh, that's OK if you're confortable with tweaking registry entries and such I guess, but not recommended. Using anti-spyware tools is best for most people, but removing manually works too obviously

 spy Doctor is spyware it self. here is a list of 'spy ware removers'; they are all fake.

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware Products
SpyDoctor

that list may not be totally 2 date, but it still has a very good list of what not to use.
