UNSOLVED
I recently downloaded and installed ie-spyads. It is installed as a .reg file and adds unwanted sites to your restricted sites zone.
Since the addition I have not had spyware or any of those annoying tracking cookies.
I also run Adaware and Spybot S&D.
- I'm not the original poster for the ie-spyads program, but a quick search at Google landed me this website which you may find useful:

Also, The Screen Savers (computer geek show on TechTV) recently had some info in regards to the SpyBot program that was already noted. It is suppose to be a little better than Ad-Aware. Here is the link:

Good luck!

For help removing Spyware. I found an awesome website I think you could get alot of help by reading through there Step by Step walkthrough on how to clear the unwanted items from the startup group and removing Spyware using Adaware. Go to there Computers page and click the link that you want fo about. These are great walkthroughs!

Also if you have alot of unwanted or old programs you never use it is a good idea to go into the Control Panel. And then go into Add/Remove Programs and, only remove the programs that you know you are not using. That should free up alot of extra Hard drive space.
Hope that helps,

Spy-Bot and Ad-Aware are usually considered the best spyware removers. I use both, but I like Spy-Better because it is faster and the options seem more clear. I have alway removed what both programs found as spyware and have never had any problems after removing the spyware with these programs. I've also taught my kids to be on the look out for spyware to keep it off our systems. They've gotten pretty good and about the only spyware that gets on our systems nowdays are spyware cookies, the least troubling of the many forms of spyware.
