Microsoft AntiSpyware (Beta1)
Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) is a security technology that helps protect
Windows users from spyware and other potentially unwanted software.
Known spyware on your PC can be detected and removed. This helps reduce
negative effects caused by spyware including slow PC performance,
annoying pop-up ads, unwanted changes to Internet settings, and
unauthorized use of your private information. Continuous protection
improves Internet browsing safety by guarding over 50 ways spyware can
enter your PC.

BHODemon 2.0
A Browser Helper Object, or BHO, is just a small program that runs
automatically every time you start your Internet browser. Usually, a
BHO is installed on your system by another software program. For
example, Go!Zilla, the downloading utility, installs a BHO created by
Radiate (formerly Aureate Media); this BHO tracks which advertisements
you see as you surf the Web.
The natural question is, what do BHOs do? The technical answer is
"anything", but generally, it will have something to do with helping
you browse the Internet. Of course, some BHOs are what is called
"ad-ware" or "spyware": they do things like monitor the websites you
visit and report this data back to their creators.

All these above programs are anti-spyware, malware programs, used to
keep your system clean. I will recommend you to install only 1 program
from all of the above :-)
Adware SE is proper choice here
