Adaware 6 is great for removing spyware, I run it on the harshest settings about once a week, you can download the free version from lavasoft, sorry don't have the link to hand, will try and find later. Also I hear spybot is good, but I've never used it.
Also recommend you download and install Zone Alarm if you have the windows firewall running at the moment, it is much better.
Good luck

Spybot was rated slightly better than adaware in a recent review on the net (by functionality and general effectiveness). The greatest spyware removal program avaialble is about 50 odd quid - its could aluria and is a very comprehensive and tho ...[text shortened]... scanning software, capable of removing nearly 200,000 known threats compared to spybots 20,000.
I have never seen a recent review where Spybot was rated higher than Ad-Aware...must be one-in-a-million.
I generally find that Spybot sucks.
