Heres another tip for you...if you use a Cable modem which is on 24/7 then I highly recommend you rebooting the modem every week and letting it cool down a bit. It helped me, Im on NTL and my modem had been on for about 2 months I pulled the plug out, let it cool down for 20 mins and put plug bag in. (by plug I mean the power supply, not the Ethernet/USB/Coxial cable)
For spyware/adware removal I use SpySweeper which in my opinion is a better program and for Antivirus, of course nothing beats Kaspersky and I have used just about every AV out there and nothing compares to KAV.
