I know a lot of you have problems with spyware/adware. Here's how to be a more informed computer user and stop spyware from continuing to run on your computer and preventing them from bothering you in the future.
 From one of my favorite websites, here's Neowin guide to Removing Spyware. May spyware die a horrible, horrible death.  EDIT: Forgot to mention that this article is not created by IDF, nor is it under our control and everything you do is at your own risk, so please don't blame me (too much) if your computer goes up in flame.  --------------------

Haha...thats awesome Rishi!
Yeah spyware sucks! It slows down web browsing and stuff and your computer in general cuz all sorts of spyware stuff is running in the background, and sending info to the spyware companies.   --------------------

Then there's the stuff you run in the background to keep spyware away, slowing down your computer too.

Spybot: Search and Destroy is a better adware/spyware program. Go to www.download.com and in the serch field type in Spybot Search and Destroy and download version 1.2.
