nice googling... however, that article is only available to member's of experts exchange.

If you are a member, perhaps you could tell us what the answer to the query is??

That's because Adaware will only run on Windows 98 onwards systems. Try Spybot S&D Download here as it works for Windows 95 upwards.

Ahh that must be my l33t hax0ring skills showing themselves again, not to mention I discovered google cache

This is an unsupported fix and it may not work 100% for you and it might not detect or remove all known spyware.

Ad-Aware 6.0 does not support Windows 95 and will not run under Windows 95, however there is a fix. Three additional dll files are needed to run Ad-Aware 6.0 under Windows 95:
CODE
MSVCRT.DLL, WS2_32.DLL and ws2help.dll

They can be downloaded from many places on the internet including here.
Place these three files in the Ad-Aware 6 directory (i.e.: C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-aware 6\). If these files are zipped (i.e.: ws2help.zip), unzip them before placing them in the Ad-Aware 6 directory.
Ad-Aware 6.0 should now run under Windows 95.

Other sugestions were:

This one says it works on Win95:

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of adware files and modules from your computer. Spybot can also clean program and Web usage tracks from your system, which is especially useful if you share your computer with other users. Modules chosen for removal can be sent directly to the included file shredder, ensuring complete elimination from your system. And for advanced users, it allows you to fix Registry inconsistencies related to adware or malicious program installations. The handy online update feature ensures that Spybot always has the most current and complete listing of adware, dialers, and other uninvited system residents.

and

An excellent popup killer ( POW! ) can be found at AnalogX WEB site:

IN addition to that program you can search for good HOSTS file which you can copy over WIndows95 original HOSTS file in order to redirect your browser requests for connections to ad-servers.

Then of course there was : Spybot here which has already been mentioned of course. Doh! Too slow again
