Zahrin has hit it right on yhr head, but you only nead to download spybot s&d to get rid of it, download the other spyware programs though as one will always pick up what the other misses.
WinAntispyware is a trojen designed to dog you into buying the full product, WinAntispyware pro 2007,
a very unreliable spyware remover program,
Another trojan to watch for, which i have noticed is doing the rounds again, is "Spyware Detector", Spybot S&D will get rid of this too.
One more thing, make sure your fire wall is turned on and windows security is up to date.
Good luck.

Normally your malware programs will delete these gremlins.
Some toolbar add-ons can be removed from Internet Explorer by opening IE > Tools > Internet Options – open the Programs Tab – at the bottom right click on the button ‘Manage add-ons’. Highlight the offending add-on and either delete or disable and click OK.
However, you should be aware that a lot of viruses, spyware & adware sit in RAM, the registry and System Restore and because of System Restore will return even after deleting or re-booting. Removing can be a little time consuming but thankfully not impossible. Yes there are many web sites offering solutions for the removal of different gremlins but try this first.
Turn off System Restore. This can be achieved by going to ‘Start’ > ‘My Computer’ > ‘Properties’ > Open the ‘System Restore’ tab then enable “Turn off system restore on all drives” > click apply > click ok.
It is now best to re-boot your computer in Safe Mode – (achieved by pressing F8 continually during boot up) this will prevent the majority of malware from kicking off at this time.
You should now run your anti virus and anti spyware and anti adware software and delete or quarantine any viruses or spies found.
Re-boot your computer in normal mode and complete another virus check. If your system is now reported as being clean - don’t forget to turn on System Restore.
Some typical examples of free downloads for keeping your system clean are:
