Answer 2

If you have spyware, you probably downloaded it accidentally when you thought you were getting a video codec or some freeware.

You can get a good free scanner with the GooglePack here:

If you cannot solve the problem with free spyware scanners, I would try out XoftspySE. I had major spyware issues recently, and XoftspySE did what the free scanners could not. It returned my computer back to its old self and cleaned all of the garbage out.

You can try a free scan here:

Good luck!
