I tried to run Ad-aware on my Vista and it won't work. Are there other adware programs available that will run? I have windows defender and norton. Do I need any other antivirus ad/spy programs? Thanks Thom

SpyBot Search & Destroy. Best I've ever used, but it is usually best to try two different utilities just in case one doesn't get everything.
You should definitely have an AV utility too. ESET Nod32 is really good but it isn't free.

When you say it wont work, do you mean it wont run, or that it runs but doesn't do the job? Have you tried running it as an Administrator, or running it from Safe Mode?
