I have a false "spyware ad on my toolbar. I need to get rid of it, but it has a rootkit. If i get rid of it without a rootkit remover, it'll just come back.

Where can I get a rootkit remover that is freeware? The ad says "Warning: detected viral activities. These viruses can hurt your computer, slow it to a crawl, or freeze it altogether. Click here to "protect" your computer."

BULL-ST! They want me to pay for the download.

I want this ad DEAD! help me plz?
