I just spent 3 hours removing 52 Trojans , dialers and other crap along with 7 viruses , off a old Dell laptop ,
including antispyware master , my prefered option was to do a clean full reload , it would have been quicker ,
but the laptop had no CD drive , and I was out in the field without one ," Hey I work for free just for the knowledge gained, " and a meal etc LOL ,

that antispyware master is one bad ass thing to remove , it locks up , ad-aware, spybot , and any attempted updates ,
I used a program called Supperantispyware  http://www.superantispyware.com/ in safe mode (F8 ) along with AVG antivirus , both free edittions , after 3 scans with both say the laptop is now clear  ,   
and also I used c-cleaner for a final polish up , ,

YEAH!!! superantispyware and avg rules!!! best combo i ever had.

btw, avg 8.0 free edition is out. i'm usin it right now. aside from d new interface, everything about avg just keeps gettin better n better!!! hoooray!!!  to those who had been usin avg better try it n see for urselves 

 Wanna know what the bestest trojan tool is?  well do ya?  Forbidden Fruit

Thanks for the head up 3DG3 , now got AVG 8 free on , not so happy with the interface , and settings ( if you set it to update manualy it greys out the toolbar icon , ) apart from that it looks good ,
and superantispyware free is doing the biz for me , and has a right click option to check a download same as AVG free, seems to me to be a great freebie duo ,

same here Bro , and the 20 or so silver surfers I give free support to ,.
so why is apple stuff so dear ????????,
