Spyware is a program with the main objective of monitoring users activities. But it can also steal private information, install unwanted software, redirect browsers to other websites than the ones the user wants to visit or even displays advertisements.
You are infected with spyware if:
* You see too much pop-up advertisements.
* Your browser has toolbars that you haven't installed.
* Your homepage has changed (and you can't change it back).
* Other settings have changed without your permission.
* Your computer is slow.
To get rid of spyware and keep your computer clean you have to use an antispyware or even more. You can download free antispyware software from here: http://www.kiete.com/antispyware.html

even some of the best programs can't remove all spyware from a computer. Some require certain programs and steps to remove rogue spyware, malware, etc.
I agree with the person that recommended superantispyware. It has found things that my other anti spyware programs have missed. But it's good to have more than one as a general rule.
One thing you might want to do is to get a decent firewall, and a decent browser like Firefox. Probably the best thing to do would be to watch your downloads, and don't go to any sites that may pose a risk to your computer.

Some antivirus programs have the ability to remove spyware. I recommend and use these 3 programs:
Ad-Aware 2007
Spybot Search & Destroy
Spyware Blaster---this helps prevent certain spyware from ever getting onto your computer.
