Well one way that I found quite useful was to go into the task manager "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" (For XP) and then see if something looks suspisious.
Also, if you couldn't find something, then open a text document and have the task manager open at the same time. Keep a letter key pressed for 5 seconds (this should result in a series of those letters). While doing so keep your eye on the task manager. If there is a program that is usning alot of the CPU resources while you do that, and looks suspicious, you'd probably want to terminate that process.
Else spyware removal software is always a good option. NOD32 is a very good Anti Virus and removes spy ware as well.
