Need Free Adware Scanner!!!!!!!!

I need a free adware scanner that will delete all of my adware and cookies. I'm not looking to buy it or pay a subscription. Just plain free.

Ad-aware:

AVG Anti-Spyware (Win XP and 2K Only):
(This is a 30-day trial, but you can keep it after the expiration to update and use as an on-demand scanner.)

In addition to Lavasoft Ad-Aware Personal that was already mentioned you might try Spybot - Search & Destroy. I use both since one occasionally finds something the other doesn't.

Windows Defender by Microsoft is also free.

All of the above are popular free anti spyware utilities used by many here on the forums.

To get rid of temp files, cookies, java cache etc you could try CCleaner - will not stop adaware as it is just a cleaning program, but does a thorough clean-up job
