Good Adware Removal Programs?

[Simonel]

My computer refuses to do the pull down menu on the Internet Explorer
address line and on Word Perfect "File" tab. The WP problem
disappears once I sweep with webroot adware removal software, but it
keeps coming back. Lately, when I try to access some web sites a window
pops up requesting my username and password, yet rejecting any
combination I try, something that does not happen at my computer at
work (the same web site does not request username or password). It
seems I have a problem with a malicious adware or virus. I already have
McAfee, which never detects any viruses, and 2 adware removal
softwares: webroot and a Swedish program called adware SE plus (all 3
are regularly updated). Any recommendations for any other adware
removal programs? - Simonel

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
