Be wary of "noadware"
I would ignore the advice to download this questionable program, as frequently recommended by a recent poster.
It is not a "free" adware or spyware removal program, but is a come-on to purchase.
Its value has been seriously questioned by this reputable site:

From Spyware Warrior:
"Over the past few months, NoAdware has taken aggressive steps to reign in its affiliates (who were primarily responsible for the unsavory advertising) and released a new version of NoAdware (version 3.0) that addresses our concerns with false positves. Given these changes we can no longer regard NoAdware as "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware."
Lavasoft (Ad-aware) took it out of their database in a recent update:
SE1R120 24.08.2006
"Please note that we have removed NoAdware from the definitions file as the mandatory probation period is over."

That is not to say NoAdware is the best thing since sliced bread. IMO why pay for something when a combination of free software like Ad-aware and Spybot does a better job in the first place?
Edited to fix grammar.

Interesting that noadware.com is still listed in the suspect websites though- and noadware certainly didn't make the "recommended" list.
As I said..."be wary"
