Before you waste your time, try this. Usually you have a Smitfraud infection. Thesecannot be removed by regular programs. Try going here for removal instructions.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Try either AVG or Avast virus scanners, both free at http://download.com
Then run BOTH Ad-aware and Skybot Seek&Destory to remove any spyware. Again free at http://download.com Because they use different list of what is considered "spyware", one may get something the other misses.
If you can not download them yourself, have a friend download the install and copy to CD for you.
If after all that you are still having problems, do a system restore to before the problem started.

It's probably not spyware, more likely a virus or other thing. Spyware tracks what you're doing and viruses and worms mess up your system.
Anyway, AVG Free Virus Scan is a good option. If you need spyware removal too then Ad-Aware is very good.
