Spyware Downloads

What Spyware do you recommend that detects and removes unwanted files and cookies? I downloaded Spyhunter and in its scanning found significant infestation, but when I went to use the remove section I was informed that I needed to purchase the removing aspect! Any good freebies or do all require a purchase? Thanks.

I use a combination of three items. Adaware and Spybot S&D are there to clean up and SpywareBlaster keeps alot of stuff from even coming in. Spybot also has a homepage protector that does not allow that established URL from getting replaced with whatever else.

A fourth program I have is the Pop-up stopper.
