Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:

Just googled Solid Peer. Got this link:
http://www.morpheus.com/MorpheusVa [...] tware.html

They even warn you that it won't uninstall when you remove
Morpheus. Did you even look? I found it in about 2 seconds.
