Hi Susz,

If you got ad-/spyware on your comp before you remove it with a special removal program (anti-malware program) or a fixtool, look if there is a normal uninstall method (via start - menu start- the normal way of taking existing programs from your machine) Uninstall) before you contemplate the other special methods. This for reason not to lose the uninstaller on cleaning. This because of leftovers and remnants you want to remove later (registry etc.).

greets,
