How do you remove spyware? I've already got Ad-aware 6.0 and Norton Anti-virus, and I've done extensive quarantining, but there's something that is stuck on my harddrive that I can't remove. Any suggestions?

Is it 'search toolbar'?

I can't get rid of that either. Get down to the last folder, and it says access restricted when you try to ditch it.

The very best out there is called "Spy Sweeper". You can get a free trial copy. Just type Spy Sweeper into google and download the free version. Then update it just in case. Run that thing. It removed 32 programs and 112 traces after I ran spybot and ad aware. That program rocks! It got rid of everything. I'm going to buy the service once I get home. $30 a year is worth the problems that spyware creates.
