Adware, Spyware blockers
Spyware is a broad category of malicious software intended to intercept or take partial control of a computer's operation without the user's informed consent.
From : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware
Any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else.

a-squared removes reliably:
Trojans, Backdoors, Keyloggers, Rootkits
Trojans and Backdoors provide strangers with access to your PC. Once a
Backdoor is installed, an attacker can take full control of your computer. A
Trojan is best described as a piece of software pretending to be something it
is not - they often contain Backdoors, and usually arrive as email attachments.
A Keylogger is a type of Malware that invisibly records all keyboard activity.
a-squared Free specializes in
recognizing and eliminating these types of Malware.
Worms, Bots
Worm viruses are currently one of the most irritating phenomena on the
Internet. Usually transmitted as dangerous email attachments, worms send copies
of themselves to all reachable destinations and cause great damage. Newer
network worms/bots use security holes (Exploits) to infect a PC, and can
reproduce at an astonishing speed. Without your knowledge, your PC is
essentially transformed into a spam-sending zombie! a-squared Free
eliminates worms from your PC and prevents them from doing any further damage.
Dialers
Dialers are small programs that change the Internet access number of a
modem-equipped computer to a much more expensive number. Costs can rise as high
as several hundred dollars per dial attempt. a-squared Free removes
Dialers before they are becoming active.
Spyware, Adware
Your personal data and information is worth a great deal of money to certain
advertising companies. They have no qualms about smuggling software into your
system, recording information and spying on everything you do. Adverts that
change the start page of your browser also belong in the Spyware/Adware
category. a-squared Free completely removes Spyware from your PC.
Traces of Spyware in the Registry and
Tracking Cookies are also recognized.
