Get at least 2 different spyware detection/removal programs. I recommend AdAware and Spybot. Run one, then the other, after updating them.
Free versions are ok if you scan manually at regular intervals. Most purchased progs have live scanning for the lazy.

The Norton Spyware Scan from the Yahoo toolbar is good. Spybot Search and Destroy is also good. Both are free.
