Hopefully, this is in the right place, but anyways, I just was gonna ask a few things about it. Ok, well my computer has Spyware on it, and I really dont know what it's from, is there any place it comes from. I think it may be Kazaa, because i had installed it for a brief time. Since my computer now has Spyware, is there any way I could clean it all up? My dad has a backup server running and we're thinking of backing up the files to the server and just refresh the whole computer. Would this work at all? If these questions could be answered I would very much appreciate it.

um, yeah chances r u did get it off of kazaa...

to get rid of it go to google and search for Spybot Search & Destroy or Spybot S&D. Download it from somewhere (it's a free service) and just run it to get rid of any and all spyware on your computer.

adaware se (http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button). works like a charm. :)

I use Spybot S&D and Spyware Blaster. Spyware Blaster is more of a preventative thing and can be found here: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html

I've got adaware too, but I thought it got rid of adware not spyware? :confused:
