No, you can purchase antivirus softwares of course but there is no guarantee that it will get rid of all of them. It is very unlikely that it will be able to find them all as well. Your best bet is to use a mixture of antivirus softwares. This can cause problems with speed of your computer and sometimes they will tread on each others' territory but if you use the right mixture. (AVG, Spybot S&D, Lavasoft Ad-Aware) ((ALL FREE!))

The only other option, in extreme cases, is to reinstall the operating system. This would cause you to lose all of your data however so note that as well.

Antivirus program that is free to download and always free to use?

There are plenty of free to use antivirus and anti-spyware programs out there to use, legally! I would recommend Avira Antivir Personal, as it is probably the best free antivirus program out there.

The best free antispyware program out there, I would have to say, it SUPERAntispyware, but the new Avira Antivir Personal contains a free anti-spyware built-in, so you may not need to download an extra anti-spyware, and it may cause problems if you do, anyways. I would recommend emailing Avira about that.

To download Avira Antivir Personal, go to:

http://www.free-av.com/en/trialpay_download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html

You also have the chance to get the upgrade to Antivir Personal for free, using the TrialPay service, but that is your decision.

Email Avira at: info@avira.com

What are the disadvantages of spyware?

There are 3 disadvantages of spyware.

1) Substandard Quality It is very apparent that the free Spyware removals are low in quality when they are compared to their paid counterparts. The paid commercial software would provide you with more attributes than the freeware. 2) Unsecure Source Often the freely available Spyware removers are not hailing from legitimate sources and at times several spyware creators disguise themselves as free spyware removers so that people go about downloading them. This sometimes ends up infecting the user's system, when the attempt was to download the spyware remover. 3) Inevitable Payment Some companies releasing free software programs for removing spyware merely attract the customers to their products. At sometime after the download, the customers are forced to make the payment for the service being achieved. Such payments could be told as an upgrade for better version software or could be payments for continuation of service. Many companies may demand payment for updating the existing free spyware remover. http://www.antivirusroot.com/spyware
