I've used Ad-aware, but is there anything better?

Use the newest version of Ad-Aware. It's updated frequently. That works well for me.

There’s a tiny little application I found called “FDISK.EXE” which is great for removing any and all unwanted programs. Unfortunately, it has the side effect of removing some ‘wanted’ ones too. Still, you can’t have everything

ROFL!!!

Rhort, do I detect a bit-o-sarcasm in there bro?

If FDISK don't work, FORMAT C:\s is a nice little command for the FAT32 user.HEH-HEH.

Geesh !!
talking about removing some stuff,, uff....

Try using a nice program called Pest Patrol.

:still can't quit laughing.......

Pest Patrol, is that what you use? I tend to go buy other peoples experience. That is what it is there for. I found this link:

And the people don't seem too happy with it. How did it work for you?

Spybot-Search&Destroy works well for me
