I don't want to buy a spyware/adware removal tool. How do you
manually remove adware??

There are many free tools for this - AdAware, Spybot, Windows Defender, etc.
But much depends on the kind of adware/malware you refer to. Try posting
questions such as this in the microsoft.public.security.homeusers group and
you should get a lot of help in there.
