First of all there are also free tools such as spybot S&D
(http://security.kolla.de) that you can use that will clean your machine
as well. Secondly, _be careful_ when deleting spyware/adware, make very
sure that the "pest" you decide to get rid of really is a pest.
For more information on them my suggestion would be to google for the
different pests that you found, and go from there. Do consider the
source of what you read, as always.
