Run your anti-spyware in Safe Mode.If you dont have an excellent anti-spyware or your current anti-spyware can't prevent spyware from Invading you computer,download a better one.
There are top 5 anti-spywares reviews,comparisons and download links on

You can download and scan your computer for free.
As the computer is booting press your "F8 Key" repeatly which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" . Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.
After into safe mode,run an anti-spyware to remove the spyware and adware on you computer.
Make sure you have 1 or 2 antispyware on your computer and 1 antivirus and also 1 firewall.
GOOD LUCK!

It could be because of downloading free stuff from the net. Nothing is free and when you do get stuff you usually get spyware. So don't download stuff you are not sure about. This will help for sure.

I like to download CounterSpy from SunBelt company. They have a free download which comes with a trial period. Use it one time to get all the junk off of your computer and then uninstall it. I do this all the time. Just type in CounterSpy in any search engine and look for the free download.
