Spyware Cleaning Tools:

Spyware is Internet jargon for Advertising Supported software (Adware).
It is a way for shareware authors to make money from a product, other
than by selling it to the users. However, much of it reports information such
as passwords back home, and all of it slows down your computer. Here
are some very useful cleaning tools.
