If you do not have firefox get it now and use it instead of internet explorer so you dont get any more spyware http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/
Do an online free virus scan to scan and kill viruses on your computer

then
Run Secunia Software Inspector (top of the page) http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/ .Securina will tell you which of your software is outdated and have bugs in them through which the spyware are entering.

Revelation is right on the money....
Some people think you can only get a virus from a .exe file.....That is the biggest urban legend that I have ever heard of....The whole purpose of a trojan is to make a malware program appear to be part of a file you are accessing, video, music, flash game, you name it, even visiting a web site can infect you if your not using any type of security.....Just last night I was watching videos on ebaums world and thank goodness for my antivirus having a real time scanner, it caught a virus in the firefox cache, so it didnt even have a chance to attack my system.....This was the file caught by my real time scanner.....

Not exactly a virus, but spyware - just as bad.

Trojans can be transmitted to your computer, which can then pull in viruses.
