Can't delete the damn adware

[Doctor Gallop]

Programs, Applications and Registry issues like Real Player, Borland, JetCar, Flash Jet, MacroSphere Player and others keep coming right back after I attempt to "uninstall".
Is there a reliable freeware utility that can get rid of these "pests" once and for all? I've tried a few different ones with no success.
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

just fyi - Borland is not adware. It's a highly respected compiler.

The others are debatable.

I shall move your thread to the Security and the Web forum. Please follow Howards instructions HERE.
Post a HJT log as a .txt attachement only when finished.

I agree, that SSD is a fine programme and will get rid of quite a lot of undesirable stuff. However, it won`t get rid of everything.

If you care to look at my instructions HERE. You will see that a whole variety of methods need to be employed to clean a system fully.

Everyday security programmes, everyone should have on a computer system are.

Spybot Search & Destroy.
Ad-Aware personal se.
Spyware Blaster.
Ewido.
A good firewall and antivirus programme(not Norton/McAfee). I personally recommend AVG free and Zonealarm free.

They should be fully updated and run on a regular basis.

Another good security measure is to get and use a decent browser, such as Firefox, or Opera. IE should only be used for Windows updates and for the odd site that specifically needs IE.

Take a look at Spikes thread HERE. It outlines various ways of making a system more secure.
