There are several free ones at download.com. I would recommend Ad-aware SE personal and Spybot Search and Destroy. Yahoo has a good anti-spyware program as well. You can have numerous anti-spyware programs on your computer and they won't interfere with each other like two anti-virus programs do.
Microsoft also offers a free anti-spyware program that is excellent.
The following programs are free and I would recommend any of them to any one in a heartbeat!

Give these a shot and remove that spyware! It can slow your system down and you'll be surprised at how much spyware will be found on initial scans.
Good luck and have a great day!!!

It's a toss up between Ad-Aware and Spybot search and destroy. If your registry is infected, Spybot, if it's the whole computer, Ad-aware.
Hope this helps.
