Default Removing spyware??

Anyone know how to remove spyware from your computer? :thinking: My computer has been doing some wierd shit lately and I'm thinking it has to do with spyware. I downloaded some music from Kazaa the other day... not sure if that has anything to do with it. Someone told me Kazaa installs spyware onto your computer :doh:

On another note... where can I get Kazaa Lite?

http://www.download.com/ download "Ad-Aware."

After running you will be unable to use Kazaa. Copy your "My Shared Folder" into a different folder and uninstall.

you can't get any better than spy-bot.

I've used the premium versions of ad-aware... they still don't catch it all.
