I as an IT professional have found many free software that will help me delete viruses, spyware, ad-aware and lots of malware off my and users computers. Here are a few that I have used and work pretty good.

1. Spybot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
2. Ad-Aware 2008 - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
3. C.O.M.O.D.O. Suites - http://www.comodo.com/
a. Antivirus - free still in beta but works great, scans, incoming & outgoing e-mails.
b. Fire Wall - This is a great free firewall
c. Anti Malware
d. Website Authentication
e. E-mail Security Certificate
If you need help with cleaning your computer, comodo has a limited offer deal going on. Their security experts will clean your computer for free and also will tune up your computer for free. This is a limited time offer no strings attached. Really.

I am not a comodo representative nor I am getting paid to recommend their software or promote it, but to get all these for free, I think it's worth mentioning.


4. Superantispyware - http://superantispyware.com/
This sweet software will clean Spyware, Adware, Malware, Trojans, Dialers, Worms, KeyLoggers, HiJackers, Parasites, Rootkits and many other types of threats.

Well, try them out and let us know how they work out for you.
