I’ve downloaded tons of spyware and adware removals. But, i can’t really find one that removes all the spyware and adware on my PC unless i pay for it. Is there a way that i can get a free one?

1) Install Clamwin anti-virus and update the latest virus signatures files
2) At the tools menu, set the preferences to remove virus.
3) Boot up your infected PC in safe mode by pressing F8 during start up.
4) Start Clamwin and scan for viruses.
After removing the virus, schedule a daily scan of your c drive.
It will keep your PC clean from viruses.
Same thing happened to me just last week. you cant really get that stuff off unless you reformat your computer. your going to loose everything so you might want to try and back up all the stuff you want to keep. its really the only solution.
There are good free things that can help, but you still might not get it all. You’ll need Antivirus like AVG (totally free). Spyware and Malware use A-squared and backlight. You can also try Spybot search and destroy. If you can determine what the virus is you can sometimes find specific virus removal programs for that one virus, just google search on it.
John, it’s better to prevent than to heal. If you are to get rid of spyware, I’m assuming you have a lot of it.
Format your hard drive and start over. Backup your personal stuff, burn it or put it on a USB memory stick or an external hard drive enclosure.

Using a computer is like a game by itself, if you break it, you lose the game. Start over and do better this time. As you progress in the game you will get better at it as you will learn as you go. You will start understanding why errors happen in the first place.
Websites with adult content are very risky for spyware and random PC infections. You know… like the real life adult content you would probably want to prevent having a bad STD of any kind instead of trying to cope with the resulting sufferings.
Also may I suggest trying Mac or Linux?
If you’re looking for any free software you have to use free and open source software. Some people out there have a passion for computers and programming, you know, they really love doing what they do. They allow you to use their software they create collectively for free. And if you happen to get so good at the game of using a computer you could modify the software as you please since you could legally see the source code they used and use it yourself.
Yeah, I could give you a bunch of websites for free spyware removal but I like my answer better.
I had the same problem and honestly dude, I had to buy a program but it worked and I have the product forever now so i can use it whenever.
remember those "free" virus removal programs are only there to bait you into buying the real product anyways
