Free Spyware Removal Tools
I think this is an important topic because of all of the sites that will try to sell you spyware removal tools. Some spyware even gives you annoying popups trying to sell you this very software after they've infected you.
People need to know that this software is widely available, highly effective and more importantly, 100% free with no exceptions. No one needs to pay anything to effectively monitor their system against spyware. All of the tools are available to download for free all over the web.
I've used all of these tools myself many times and on many different systems to remove all kinds of annoying spyware. They've been a real life saver for me in the past and I highly recommend all of these software programs to remove all of the spyware on your system.
Spybot Search and Destroy
Spybot Search and Destroy is a great free program you can download to detect and remove spyware from your PC.

The website and software are available in many different languages.
Once you download the software, install it on your computer. It will prompt you to do a registry backup, which you will want to do.
You will also be prompted to install and activate TeaTimer. TeaTimer will protect your system registry against software tampering. It will prompt you when registry changes are being attempted, which should typically only occur when you are installing new software which you can manually accept.
Next, it will prompt you to run an update. You need to do this in order to update the software with all the new spyware definitions. The definitions are used to detect spyware on your system so you will need this to be up to date to eliminate all of your spyware.
Watch the video below for a tutorial on the program usage.
HiJackThis
If you are having a problem with your browser being hijacked including homepage hijacks and other annoying intrusions and spying, you will need to also scan your system with HiJackThis.

HiJackThis is a little more advanced than Spybot. It searches for registry values and other system settings which may indicate that your browser has been hijacked but sometimes may include things you have installed intentionally such as search bars and also browser addons.
If you are unsure what the results mean, you can visit forums such as SWI Forums and paste your HiJackThis output and someone can help you sort it out.
Watch the video below for more information on HiJackThis.
