Why can't they just die?

I swear we could have a nuclear war and all that'll be left are cockroaches and crapware. I'm running SpyBot; it immunized my system and I have the tea timer and SD helper going. I've got AdAware, SpywareBlaster, and IE-spyad. Why does AdAware keep finding data miners? Why doesn't SpyBot tell me something's wrong? How do I get them out?

use linux

they get in there as soon as you start surfing the web, usually something like FastClick or something, for the most part they're just cookies for websites.

It's ussaly not to hard to keep yourself away from adware, never use bit-torrents, download illgeal files or porn, dont use p2p like kazza or limeware or "internet toolbars" and one again no porn.

No porn. Then what am I going to do for porn?
I'm a little more concerned than that they're just cookies. AdAware shouldn't identify them as critical objects. Is there a way to prevent FastClick and others? I'm not a computer savvy person. What are bit torrents and p2ps?
