How to get rid of adware?

I dont know, but sometimes I get ads all of a sudden when browsing the internet. Then, when I press ctrl-alt + delete and take a look at the menu, there is one program named "Ne" that always appears there no matter how many times I close it.

So I was wondering, how do you get rid of adwares or molesting programs like those.

i have the same problem, since i've searched and can't find it root, when i boot up my comp i close out all unecessary programs with crl-alt-del and it closes whatever program that is

try using AdAware. It's free, and it searches your ram and harddrives for adware.

Ok, thanks for the tip rjensen.

wow, ad aware found alot of thing on my pc, tracking cookies,, browser hijack attemps, ect. what a browser hijack attempt?

You didn't know of Ad-aware?! It is possibly the best adware removal tool available. If you use P2P applicatoins (eg: Kazaa) then you should definately have this porgrma installed on your machine.

Spybot Search and Destroy is another good spyware remover.

Adaware is really good
