EMERGENCY BOOT DISK FREEWARE
C.R.A.P. Cleaner, or, properly, CCleaner is a good one for cleaning out puke. SpyBot
SD, AdAware SE and SpywareBlaster is what I use since they first became available.
Computer Related Advertising Puke.
Mac
WINDOWS SUPPORT RAM

OMG, i know you're a little steamed over it but alot of people here do not like the
choice of language you've decided to use so first suggestion, tone it down just a
little bit please, ok with that said, alot of that crap comes into your system through
security holes in IE, log onto Spyware
& Malware Removal Utilities to read up on some good quility cleaners (links
provided) and if you want alot of that crap to stay off your system, use Firefox
or Opera and you will see a real
decrease it crapware. they are much more secure than IE. i personally use firefox
and malware, and crapware in general has decreased by about 99%. its also not a bad
idea to log onto
how did I
got infected in the first place and read up on tips and tricks on your surfing
habits and security settings. good luck. :)

i use SPYBOT (its free) i also use SPY SWEEPER and WINDOW WASHER you have to use
a few diffrent programs as one alone dose not do the job, most of this sh*te is caused
by using internet explorer its renouned for loading crap it also has its own shoppers
spy ware built into it called ALEXA tool bar , if i was you i would use either MOZILLA
FIREFOX or my favourite OPERA to browse the net they are by far more safer than I:E
and a better browsing experience
