I have run Spybot Search and Destroy to get rid of known spyware on our home computer, but it will not get rid of PurityScan and Downloadware. I also tried Ad-aware, but it doesn't find these. Any ideas what these are and how I can get rid of them. I've looked in my add/remove programs and don't see these names. I also did see things under my add/remove programs which I wasn't sure if I need...like Sidebar Search? Search OS, SBM OS and BackWeb. Any help on any of these items is much appreciated. Just to let you know I have recently upgraded to Windows XP.

THANKS MUCH
Lori
 
Don't know what version of "Spybot" you are using but the latest version
(1.3), deals with PurityScan, at least it does on my machine.
