These are really 2 different solutions:
1. Free Anti-virus - I would use an online scanner to scan your computer such as Trend Micro's HouseCall(http://www.trendmicro.com/hc_intro/default.asp).
2. Free Anti-spyware - For this the best option is Microsoft's Windows Defender (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx). Also, Spybot Search and Destroy is a good option that is free (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Spybot_Search_and_Destroy/1043809773/1).

Scan the PC with a standard antivirus software. If you donot have one, I can give a few links that offer free virus and spyware removers...!You may be having a virus or spyware installed on your PC. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at

Got to Download.com. Find the program AdAware SE Personal. It is a free version and it works very well. It worked so well that i purchased the full version which is even better and gives real-time security.

*************************************
I suggest you download AOL Active Virus Shield, It's based on the popular Kaspersky Lab Virus Killer.
It removes viruses, spyware, trojans and as it's based on kaspersky lab it removes 100% of viruses in the wild.
There's links and also a great walkthrough with a step by step guide: http://walkthroughwizard.info/
