What are some more quality Adaware/spyware removal products that are free? I have Adware 6.0, Spybot, Microsoft Defender, but I am worried I am not killing them all. Please list only free softwares that can be downloaded off of the internet.

   While security is always a concern on the internet, I believe there is such a thing as too much security. For the last 5-6 years I’ve been using just three programs, all of which are free. Avira Anti-Vir, Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D. All of them are updated regularly and seem to do a good job. In those 5-6 years I have only had one virus and no problems with any malware. Going by the programs you listed, I’d say you’ll probably be fine as is.
