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.
To remove spyware,I recommend Adware Alert.
Adware Alert Features:
*Remove Spyware, Adware
*Stop Pop-ups
*Kill Trojans, Worms, Viruses
*Clean Registry & Program Errors
*Remove harmful registry keys and files
*Speed-Up your computer
*Destroy harmful hijackers
*Helps prevent identity theft
*Clean & Optimize your PC

Finally, Make sure you have 1 or 2 spyware remover programs installed on your computer and 1 antivirus and also 1 firewall.
GOOD LUCK!

Here is one that I use and it is free. Will find what all other antispyware programs miss, including trojans. (No conflict with your existing antivirus software).
Superantispyware, http://www.superantispyware.com Download the free version and you will also get auto updates daily. Perform a indepth scan. Also make sure that you type in your home page address, so that is protected by the sofware should it be different then what is shown upon installation. Once in a great you may have to reboot if the spyware is a very difficult one.
