Auto-d/l internet crap!

Ok, by the title you can see I'm pissed. Why? Every time I go to a certain website that I don't WANT to go to (example: You go to yahoo.com and meant to click "chat", but a popup comes up and you accidentally click IT, bringing you to another website that auto-downloads crap onto your computer) it auto-downloads crap onto my computer that messes up my system! Right now my mouse is screwey, phone-dialer keeps coming up, and I get pop-up ads when I'm NOT surfin the net. Tell me, is there any free or trial program that can search and delete any unnecessary files of my computer?

I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this, so move if necessary.

Adaware is crap unless you hack it for the full version,get "spy bot search and destroy"its free and alot better.

What full version? Ad-Aware is freeware, too, you know. You're probably thinking of Ad-Aware Plus or Ad-Aware Professional.

"...or, didn't you KNOW that?"

There's another nifty program that will delete all unnecessary files from your hard drive. It's called "format." Also, there's a device that, when applied to your internet cable, will keep such unnecessary files from ever reaching your computer; that one's known as "scissors."
