Please check your anti-spyware program. the one that found the problem and now you have to buy it. It could be a rouge program that is ACTUALLY a malware program itself. You can check at the link at the bottom of my answer.
75% of the so called protection programs on the web are themselves malware. ONLY get the good programs from the manufacturer or a reliable source because other sites are re-writing them and distributing them as "REAL" software when they actually now contain spyware. One of these so called good programs was actually advertised on Television!! But it contained spyware!
Here is my recommendation.
I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)
The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.
These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.
The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

start with the antispyware scanner in yahoo toolbar. It catches stuff that adaware doesn't catch. Then get Windows defender, from the Microsoft catolog, another free adware/spyware remover. I've also had some luck with advanced spyware remover, also available free on the microsoft catalog page. you should find a link to the windows catalog under the start menu on windows.

Try AVG virus scan - I think it's still a free program. It cleaned out a lot of crap that AdAware and Spybot didn't touch.
