    This site has a free download to check for adware on my computer.
    If I download it will it clean the ads off or just give me a report to scare me into buying the paid package?
    Free always scares me.
    Thanks, as usual

    Based on information from Here I'd avoid this one. In fact, I'd avoid any of them other than the ones listed in Quicklinks (see my signature).

    Some of the others might well be fine but the ones we have listed are free, effective, safe, and do a fine job of removal.

    Note that NoAdware uses the same ref file for it's scans as Ad-aware.
