Use a combination of Adaware, Hijackthis, and the Adaware forums.

The Adaware forum mods will let you know what you want to remove with Hijackthis.

Hijackthis is an extremely powerful tool, but be careful as to what you have it remove.

Well since this is a Spyware S&D discussion I was wonderin what can I do because when I run spyware it goes fine but after a while it goes to taking up 100% of my CPU and it just freezes and no I don't have a sucky computer.
