If it is MalWare I recommend getting Windows Defender from the Microsoft website. It will urn a complete scan of your computer for MalWare. Malware is different than Virses as Malware promotes advertising based on areas you use on the computer--so it's a form of spyware in a way. A virus simply does damage. They can both be a pain however.

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.

AVG is the best free anti-malware out there. I'd download both the antivirus and antispyware programs. Lavasoft's ad-aware is also pretty good. But try the AVG first.
