Re: [PCTECH] Free software loads other stuff

James,

Go to http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ and download the free 
version of Ad-aware, install it, and run it.

I get rid of everything I want with Ad-aware but others also report good 
thing SpyBot.

Also, make sure your Windows and anti-virus are up to date.

I quickly noticed they'd loaded lots of other stuff like pop-ups. 1 of them had an uninstall. I deleted the folders the programs were loaded into and ran Norton Windows Doctor to get rid of anything left behind.
