Anybody know of a good, free spyware blocker?

I don't know where this stuff keeps coming from but I have to run Ad-Aware every day because my computer starts slowing down after just a few minutes of surfing. Is there a free program out there that will block it instead of just removing it after it's in there? Thanks.

    In response to the emergence of spyware, a small industry has sprung up dealing in anti-spyware software. Running anti-spyware software has become a widely recognized element of computer security practices for computers, especially those running Microsoft Windows. A number of jurisdictions have passed anti-spyware laws, which usually target any software that is surreptitiously installed to control a user's computer. The US Federal Trade Commission has placed on the Internet a page of advice to consumers about how to lower the risk of spyware infection,

    including a list of "do's" and "don'ts."

    Stopping spyware ('malware') is more than a one-time inoculation, folks.

    This is about a weekly habit of cleaning 'nasty dust bunnies'

    from your personal computer.

    In much the same way you clean your home with your favorite broom

    and your favorite cleaning solvents, you will also need good tools

    to clean spyware out of your PC.

    I recommend Lavasoft's AdsGone 2009. So far, it had blocked almost 3,000 pop ups since I installed it.Its free so you don't have to pay anything.Its the full version that you will get so don't worry. Installation is fast.You can get it from this sitehttp://www.adsgone.com/download.asp or find it in CNET's download section. Another thing: Use Google Chrome as your web browser.It blocks pop ups better than Firefox or any other web browsers.
