Use Spybot Search and Destroy and also use adaware product. they don't like each other and give you warnings, but they each find different things. use them both and you should be good.

Windows Defender is about the best you can get. I had it when it was MS Anti-Spyware, which was beta testing for Defender. And it is excellent. That would be my choice.

I need to download one of these for my mother's computer. She's got an old e-machines computer with a 2.0 processor and like 128 ram and a 40 gig hd. But my brother has downloaded so much crap that it takes three days to pull up the internet. I think it's got every virus out there. Will one of these programs take care of all that crap and speed it back up?

if it's too far gone it might be easier to backup your important files and just do a reformat + clean OS install. then install the anti-spy/adware stuff as preventive maintenance.
