"Ad-Aware". Read about it here:-

http://www.lavasoft.de/

Download it free here:-

http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

Download Ad-Aware and run it to get rid of spyware from your system.

Also get "Spybot Search & Destroy" from:-

http://www.safer-networking.org/

Download link on left of that page.

Use both programs regularly.

Make sure you update both of them regularly.
