My computer has been taken over by adware...plese help....?

I've tried all sorts of things, but I keep ending up with some site wanting me to buy their anti-virus software (like I would want that!) please, is there any way I can get this stuff off my computer without having to buy some program?

PCTools products do get good reviews. The good thing is they have free versions of their products. They work great. Spyware Doctor from the Google pack is a must. I highly recommend it. I bought Webroots Spysweeper and spyware doctor finds stuff spysweeper does not. Having both is a perfect combo and I recommend running two anti-spyware products.

You can do an online scan for viruses and spyware for free from the major vendors. Some of these require Internet Explorer to run because of Active-X
