There's two programs that will do that:

Ad-Aware (latest version is 6.0) -- There's a freeware & a paid version...
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Spybot Search & Destroy -- another good spyware proggie that can get rid
of new.net & downloadware (ones that Ad-Aware 5.83 couldn't kill)...
http://security.kolla.de/

To bring this back ontopic, tho: lavasoft has been around since the
Commie64 days, and a) still has a lot of that software, and b) released it
to freeware as well... you can download it there...
