I need a free program that dectects AND, yes
AND removes all spyware

I have so much crap on here i'm sick of it. I manually removed like 4 things
I hate you programmers who code that <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span>, i hope u all get a bad case of the <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> and are sick for months.

well if anyone cared my preference out of the suggestions by mark (minus the linux)
I like the adaware by lavasoft
the Spybot gave me some sort of error and didnt complete the scan and said there were no 'problems' when clearly there was.
Adaware cleansed all of them, easy interface, nice options. FREE
Thanks for the hint

I prefer both. I found that some spyware isn't found by one, but is by the other, and vice versa. So I use both when I have a good amount of spyware.

I use Ad-Aware both at home and on client computer at the schools, it works great. Recommend to anyone using windows.

I was at a conference last month and someone made a comment that Lavasoft was in the spyware business before they were spyware detectors...I'm not sure if it is true or not. Regardless, I use ad-aware as well.

I agree with markl999, Linux is the best anti adware program out there.

Spy-Bot Search and Destroy... My friend Uses that but Ad-Ware Looks better
