System clean-up / Spyware help required!

[Rob P]

Help!

My PC has been slowly grinding to a halt as a result of loads of unwanted crap finding its way in.

Can anyone recommend a good bit of software that will show me exactly whats hidden away inside this thing so I can get rid of it for good? I've had a browse through the net and cant find something which describes what I want to do.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks
Rob

www.lavasoft.de for Adaware and then do a google for "Spybot search and destroy".

After installing, make sure they are both upto date before you run them.

It's quite suprising the stuff that they find.

Free... and VERY effective.

PestPatrol does it for me, finds things Adaware and Spybot miss but you might have to pay for it, unless you know some good download sites!!!!
