Did a Web Root Spyware Audit scan and it came up with these.
I've tried many other scans and this scan seems to found some adware files.
I just dont know how to remove them.

Adware Detected: 6

Adware:

180search assistant/zango
wildmedia
websearch toolbar
cws-aboutblank (other cws scanners dont seem to pick this up)
hotnow
ie driver

Does anyone have any free stuff that will remove these?
Thank You kind persons

Before you go about trying to remove stuff that "may or may not" be a false positive I'd recommend following the Spyware Removal Guide, and after following it then post a HijackThis log in the proper forum area (not in here) for the experts to diagnose.

Run Lavasoft Ad-Aware and ewido.

[chrism]

Nope
Ewido did pickup a backdoor but not clean those other adware stuff
adware didnt get it either
