All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.After you install any of them,make sure you update them to get the full affect.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.

Kasperksy or nod32 are both excellent anti virus software. AS for removing trojans already on your computer, best thing to do is reformat and reinstall. I don't care how good your anti virus is, if you have a trojan on your computer, it's almost alwaya near impossible to remove it completely.
you can do an online scan an trendmicro.com
sywareblaster is also a decent program for spyware.
remember to run a firewall too.

Trojans are normally detected by anti-virus software, but you can also get trojans delivering spyware. Your best protection against all kinds of malware is AVG Internet Security

Otherwise you can just use AVG Anti-Spyware
