You can use Spybot, AdAware, or Windows Defender to scan your computer for spyware. I run all 3 because they each catch something the others miss.

The above guide uses SmitFraudFix which was designed to remove these types of infections.
About SpyDawn:
SpyDawn is a new rogue antispyware program that is installed when you install fake video or music codecs that are in reality Trojans. This infection creates fake security alerts in your taskbar as well. There is no need to spend any money on software to remove this infection.
