| Theres not really any best ones since I manually remove viruses/spyware but a few good ones are Ad-Aware, Spybot Search & Destroy and something called Hi-Jack this (wouldnt use it unless you know what to delete). |

| Heres some advice from our great father. Ad-Aware and Spybot are the best overall for newbie computers users.[ Spybot got ranked one of the best tech products in the world by PCWorld magazine along with Netscape, The Oringinal Non-AOL Crapware that Netscape is now.] |

Regedit, Windows Explorer, Command Prompt, some Sysinternals utilities and a bit of knowledge. That's all I use to remove spywares and viruses.
Though, if you like something more "famous", I recommend Ad-Aware.

The Old Adware[ Ad-Aware SE] is pretty good with Adware. I however wouldn`t even touch Ad-Aware 2007. For a free program Ad-Aware SE is pretty good. |

| Ad-aware I've always found to be pretty useless. I swear by Xoftspy. |

AVG, easily.
The Free Version is very, very good.

Beyond those, sometimes I use WinHex to dissecate and extract strings from suspect binaries, too.
A GOOD virus remover doesn't need any antivirus, antispyware, antitrojan, antiadware, anti-so-and-so, anti-fuc***so... Just knowledge and the tools I mentioned. |
