Getting rid of spyware - Page 2

This isn't a SH3 topic per se, but spyware does hamper my ability to play the game. This lousy error pop-up crap keeps telling me that "pokapoka79.exe" has caused an error and needs to be closed. I did a search and located the file within 'C:\WINDOWS.' The problem is that I can't delete it; it is always being accessed. Using Ctrl+Alt+Del (task manager), I stop it from running but it immediately starts again. Very annoying... So I did a google search about it, and I learned that it is spyware. I would use my antivirus thing, but it is crap. Expired, out-of-date, useless, whatever... It doesn't work... I tried to update it once, and an endless stream of pop-ups viciously attacked me.

**Frikkin' Spyware... Don't computer *******s have anything better to do than to create this spyware SH*T that screws with other people's computers?!?! B*TCHASSMOTHAF*KERS!!!**

Sorry, I'm pissed. Does anyone know of a free or easy way to get rid of spyware? Maybe something that I could download? And preferably, don't link me up to anything that would give me MORE spyware...

Unlike myself, most of the people on these boards are 'tech junkies,' so hopefully someone can help me out... Thanks.
