Talking Have to Laugh!

All the spyware that you mentioned, are in the top line up of the "Rogues Gallery". I find it very hard to believe that AFisk would intentionally install any of it on a computer that he owns. Even though he and the other developers obviously promote and support it.

As far as getting your system clean again, I doubt if anyone (other than the companies that made the bundled software) knows exactly what files to keep or delete. (There are so many, not to mention the Registry entries)

Agreed, AdAware does a fine job at cleaning up the mess. As a suggestion, let AdAware make a backup of anything you let it delete, that way, if something does go wrong you can put it back.

Also,several of those companies offer uninstallers for their "advertising" software. You could check their sites, though based on their track records, I don't know if i would fully trust their "Uninstallers"....
