You should have three anti spy ware programs.
Windows Defender is free from Microsoft. Go here to read about and get it – http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/defaulting.mspx
Spybot and AdAware scan for and remove spyware. Run them both about once a week. Get them both free here – http://www.download.com
In addition to ad-aware, also run SpyBot.

There’s others as well but I haven’t used them.
Here is a list of free ones to try http://www.basicspywaretips.com/getridofspyware.html
CCleaner and/or AdAware by Lava Soft and also do an online scan at Trend Micro. Do the scan first.

One of the first applications built to find and remove adware and spyware, Ad-Aware SE Personal Journal’s brilliant reputation is well justified. The sky-blue, skinnable interface features five buttons. The first two, Status and Scan, lead to the core function of the attention. These buttons initiate a scan of your files for adware components. After scanning is complete, the program presents a summary of consequences, followed by a list from which you select exactly which components to remove. Right-clicking an individual entry gives some information about the piece of suspected adware, even if we would like more details.
Ad-Aware SE can alert you to more malignant forms of malware by separating items into critical and negligible categories. The third button, Ad-Watch, is nonfunctional in the Standard version. The fourth button, Plug-ins, shows you which Ad-Aware plug-ins are installed. The fifth leads to the help files.Ad-Aware SE does an brilliant job of quickly result and removing most adware and spyware components, although you will have to restart and rescan for a seriously infected machine. We were pleased to see an auto-update feature built-in with the program, keeping Ad-Aware up-to-date with the latest adware components. Ad-Aware SE should be part of your arsenal for keeping your machine free of adware and spyware components.

Spybot – Search & End detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to make a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don’t see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there’s no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
