Recently, an adware got into my pc. I suspect its from a program called IM Names. Although I deleted the program, the adware is still there. Is there a free adware remover program to remove it?
Best answer:
Answer by No way man
I use spybot search and end. It is free and very excellent.

I’d recommend:
Spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
Adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Goto http://www.ewido.net and run the free version. If its there ewido will find it and remove it.
Here are a few more freebies that work good.

Otehrs have posted some very excellent general all-purpose cleaner app links, but you need something more point.

Click where it says Spyware Doctor, then click the button to do the free online scan. You don’t need to buy the product to run the cleaner.
Excellent luck.
