How do I check for and remove Adware and Spyware from my computer?

nyone who browses the web, uses instant messaging software, or file sharing software with a Windows computer is very likely to have software installed on their computer without their knowledge. Such software, called Spyware and Adware, will slow down the computer or even, in some cases, cause the computer to stop working. In an attempt to help combat this problem, the College has purchased a site license for a plugin to McAfee VirusScan 8.5 called the McAfee AntiSpyware Module. More information is available on the McAfee AntiSpyware website.
