I heard about a product called ad-aware. Apparently you can download it for free online. They say that it makes your computer faster, etc. Is this true? Is there a product out there that is better for this? Please help. Thanks!

yes adaware is awesome and is free and a must nowadays, If you have a yahoo search bar there is also a virus scan right on that now by norton, I also use avg.I use the adaware personal, just the free version of course if you pay for it you will gt better quality help from it but the free service works for what I need just fine...

I also forgot to mention that microsoft offers a free anti-spyware too. There is also a free malicious software removal tool from microsoft.

I also would like to let you know that the Spybot Search & Destroy that others have talked about also has nice feature that allows you to stop things that you do not want to start up when your computer turns on. This is mostly for advanced user but a very nice tool.
