I am looking for a good, free adware/spyware removal program. I have searched the web and there are too many to check through.
At the moment I have Ad-aware 6.0, but it won't completely clear HOTBAR. I also have SpySweeper, but it only allows one definition update. Can anyone suggest one?

There's 'Spybot Search and Destroy', which goes with Ad-aware perfectly. Another good free one is SpyBlaster. This is the Spybot site: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
To make perfectly sure of cleaning my system, I use Window Washer (You have to buy it) and follow that with a scan by Ad-aware (free) and finally SpyBot (free) Although not in this question, I use AVG antivirus from Grisoft (free), and this has never let me down on virus protection
Hotbar and a few other similar things are a pain to get rid of. I deleted them then went into the registry and removed all traces.

Thanks for the replies. I've downloaded SPYBOT and it has cleared more than SPYSWEEPER, AD-AWARE and AVG put together.
Again, thanks for the links to SPYBOT.
