Try Spybot Search & Destroy. It is a completely free program (you can donate if you like) that works pretty well for clearing out spyware. As with any tool though, a single solution may not get every exploit out there. Others to consider are HijackThis, AVG, and several others that aren't coming to mind right now unfortunately.

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.

you will get the loose version of adaware its extraordinary, so is spybot seek and destryo. i could advise downloading the two one in each of them you should use them the two as thew wont reason any conflict. ideally you may test your gadget with one first then while it quite is achieved test with the different one. i will extraordinarily much assure you that no longer one software via itself will %. up all spyware so it doesnt do any harm to have 2 or 3. I even have 3 myself.

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser.
you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus. i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar.
firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser.
as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE. download firefox for free, Just have a try:
