I use Ad-Aware SE, and I ran a scan for my computer for viruses and such, and so far (after scanning 82,000 plus files, and counting), it's found 80 new critical objects.
I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of these. If anyone has experience with this program or knows something I could download that would not only find viruses but destroy, them, that'd be great.
Thanks.

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
I know what you are talking about. You click fix the problem or quarantine or whatever but when you run a scan later, the same critical objects show up. It is like it was never removed.
WHat i think is happening is that it does not delete the problem. It only makes files containing the problem unaccesable. since the files are still on the computer ( though inactive) it will continue showing up in the scan results.
you can try norton for viruses too. you can download it FREE from google pack. it will give you instructions how to remove it.
if you need any more help just ask me again.

you just check off all the objects and then click next and it will remove them for you

You have to wait til the end of the scan and then just continue to the remove screen (by clicking on the bottom right). Odds are you probably got there just after submitting this question.
Now, as far as viruses go, you should also run a virus checker. I recommend avast (just search for it in google), its free and good.
Spybot is also a good one for adware as suggested below, sometimes Ive had stuff that only one or the other would find.

it should get rid of them too, there should be check boxes, just right click, click select all then click remove down at the bottom. of if you have so defunct version download spybot jsut search google for free spybot download
