Free adware removal products for Win95

Does anyone know of any free adware removal products for Win95? (I know, I
know...but we are a non-profit agency, and every penny counts!) We have a
computer that is badly infected, but I can only get Spyware Blaster to work
in it. Adaware doesn't even load, and Spybot S&D states on the website that
you need at least Win98. Thanks for any help!

IIRC Ad-aware v6.181 works with Win95 but as of 05 Nov-04 Lavasoft has
discontinued support and updates for this version, I'm afraid.

Run a Google Search for Ad-aware v6.181. You may still find it somewhere
(don't get your hopes up).

And see this page for Spybot S&D:

You were right, PA Bear...no luck with finding the older Ad-aware version.
But I tried both of Stan's suggestions, and now both Ad-Aware and Spybot work
fine. Thank you, both of you!

Excellent Susan,
Thanks for posting back to say they both work.
