Recently my computer has become FLOODED with adware and I tried as many prgrams to get rid of it as I can get my hands on. If anyone knows a program the has worked well for them, I hope it has a free trial. Anyone know of a program?

The only one that has worked for me was Spybot, but you've already used it...
Load up Spybot again and try this:
Try locate a file(s) that has Adware in it then click and drag it into Spybots Secure Shredder function then shred away.
You can really damage your PC with that function so be careful with it.
To activate the Shredder go:
Mode --> Advanced Mode
Then to Tools and it's called Secure Shredder.
