Unfortunately, this is a much harder task than it seems. First of all, presuming you are on Windows, create yourself a 'Limited User' account. Run all of your stuff on here. Only log in as administrator when you need to. Secondly, install the free programs already stated above, Ad-Aware and AVG. Third, (if you can) buy Norton Anti-Virus, Clamwin Anti-Virus, McAfee Anti-Virus, or any other antivirus software you can get a hold of. Fourth: enable Windows Firewall. Only unblock programs that you are sure will not infect you computer. And finally, install Mozilla Firefox, and use that in place of Internet Explorer. If you follow all these steps, you should do fairly well.

Try using free software. They work great. Search for Ad-Aware, for spyware, and AVG Free, for viruses. They both work great.
