I'm very worried right know. Um...one of my dumb friends clicked a Adware ad and its now on my computer...
My spyware and addware said it got rid of it...or quarantined it...
Even though Spy-sweeper said quarantine items cannot harm your computer, I'm still very very very worried and upset. The risk was VERY high.
What ype of AntiSpyware to you have?
Sorry for the bother....I'm just scared.

Spybot Search and Destroy is a good program. it's also free. Windows Defender is also pretty good and is free as well. Google them and you'll find them. If I were you I'd install them and scan your system with them if you are still worried.
God I hate Spyware and Adware. They are the most evil things lurking on the net today.

I purchased Spywaredoctor, which was an awesome idea, cause I ended up getting some nasty spyware trojans my virus detector didn't find. Alot of it is frequent checking and being carefull of what you click. Give the free ones a go like Susie suggested ^^

Well it wouldn't hurt to rescan your computer with the new software I mentioned. I suggest doing it. You could have other stuff on your computer that you don't even know about. There is no program that catches everything so you have to use a few if you really want to be thorough.
Exdeath is the one that recommends those two software I mentioned and he's a professional computer technician.
