Remove them, of course!
If ZoneAlarm is unable to do so, you can download the free anti-spyware I have mentioned, update it and run a full system scan.

Don't pay for a spyware program. You can download several free anti spyware scanners and remove the spyware with them. My favorite is AdAware by Lavasoft. Also, clear your browser's history, cookies and temporary files at least once daily. If you are using file sharing programs, they contain a ton of unsolicited spyware. Good luck. If you need help with how to clear the browser history, cookies and files, e mail me and I will tell you how. Hope this helps!!!

Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.
Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php
Download SpywareBlaster---http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from ever being installed.
It's main features include:
- Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests.
- Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
- Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.

Hi there,
If your computer is not showing any signs that it has been compromised (pop-ups, etc) then I wouldn't worry too much.
However, to be completely sure it wouldn't hurt to run a scan by another security application. One of the best would be Prevx1 which is well known as having the largest malware database of all security vendors. They offer a free trial which will scan your PC and remove any infections free of charge.

as you told you scanned your PC and found 42 spywares.
Well, this all testing is fake and all this is done by these companies just to make money.Same case was happened with me 15 days ago.
All you need to do is just load avg free edition of both anti virus and anti spyware .They are available at www.grisoft.com .
Don't come in the fake ads of these companies.
If still you are unable to sort.Contact- ankurs2000@yahoo.com
