    ok, I have spyware and adware like crazy. and I have a couple viruses. So I am going to reformat my hard drive and start from scratch, because so much of it won't delete. anyways, once I do that what are the best programs for anti-virus/removal, and adware and spyware blocker/removal?

    lots of good info in this part of the forum.... well worth getting a Coffee and some Biscuits and spending time reading through them http://www.majorgeeks.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=33 :)


    My personal Favs are......

    AV
    Mcafee ( yes I know the comments that may follow, so no need to lecture me... plus I have never Virri infestations )

    Avast! Free ( best Free one IMO )


    Spyware

    SpywareBlaster ( A must )
    Ad-Aware


    also periodically do an online scan using either

    Trends Housecall
    Panda Online
    Mcaffee FreeScan

    etc etc
