My computer is full of adware and I was wondering if anyone can tell me where to go to get them off. Some examples are Binet, Envolo, Cydoor, Lop, Keenval, and Statblaster. Please Help!
 
Try Ad Aware:
www.lavasoftusa.com

After you install it, run the program, it removes nothing until you tell it
to do so. It will quarantine whatever it finds allowing you to be able to
see what if finds and you to make the choice to remove the item which can
also be backed up.

You also might want to create a restore point in System Restore before
removing anything in case the removal causes any problems. Start\All
Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore.

I would be a good idea to backup your data files as well.
 
Neil,

Download all of these utilities and scan the system.
