Go to www.lavasoft.de and download Ad-Aware. This is free
software. keep it up to date and regularly scan your pc
for spyware/adware.

Hope this helps

SpyBot has some nice features that AdAware lacks, it will
block cookies from blacklisted sites and warn you if a
website is trying to hijack your homepage. It has some
security features that can lock your computer so users can't
change settings. A nice feature for a computer with several
users.
