Sugar Baby...... AVG .....  http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1
Ad-Aware SE ..... http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button

There is another one which is almost exactly the same ...

Spybot S&D should be in the must haves.

AdAware SE, SpyBot SD & SpywareBlaster will all work with ME and are all free.

I use AVG Free Home Edition and have used Zone Alarm free home edition firewall successfully on ME.

You should also download HijackThis and install it to the Programs folder. Do a scan and save the Log then post the log on a specialised HJT security forum for analysis.

Don't install to a TEMP folder as HJT needs to make backups just in case you delete something important.
