Everytime I open IE6 I seem to get Adware and it's always quite high on the critical list. I don't understand as my home page is Google and I have cleared:

Temp Files
Registry
Cookies
Cache

I could do with some advice as I don't really like ad-ware

Do you have Ad-aware SE?
Also, perhaps try doing the dslreports guide should take a while to do so give yourself a few hours in time to do this guide:

Thanks for the link I will read, and yes I have adware SE thats how I know I get adware after going on IE.

I did a few tests scanning before IE and then after IE and I get adware :s

I use IE, my system is up todate as it can be with all the windows updates.

I use windows firewall, have Kaspersky running in the background and run adaware once monthly just before I boot.

Virus free, no adware. and I'm on at least 1000 plus different sites weekly

I have Windows One Care, Windows Spyware, IE7 and all up to date on Windows updates also, my windows one care does the Full Tune up once a week while im sleeping

I use:

Zonealarm Firewall
Avast Anti-Virus
Spybot Search & Destroy
Adware SE Personal Edition

And I run them all daily along with windows update and deframentation so I don't know why I am getting this "/

Zone Alarm Hmm won't go into it too much lol but I would never recommend anyone to install that piece of poop it is.

You don't mention what type of adware your getting, you must be installing stuff that's causing this as it doesn't just pop into your PC all by itself.
