Restarting the previous thread:

So download Spybot rather then Adware
I have not used either programs myself personally, but have had to use them when "fixing" other computers. If I remember correctly, the inflated number of results is due to the fact that Spybot considers more ad banner cookies to be "spyware" than Ad-aware. Of course, I may be completely wrong (it was a while ago since I last used them)!
