Spyware bad. when they offer free anti spware programs they just give you a demo then you have to rgister for the product and pay some obscene amount of money for it to delete spyware has found.

Download.com is the is my most trutest source ever.,
I find it hard to belive you picked up spywayre from there... must have been from another source..

For the record, Lavasoft Adaware and Spybot Search & Destroy are the best free spyware removers ever.

Webroot is still amazing though.

20 minutes and your entire PC is fixed.
