Run both adaware and spybot. One picks up things the other doesn't.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

take out your shotgun, trace the source of the spyware, and go shoot the bastard(s) who made it!

I have heard a lot of good stuff about AD-Aware and SpyBot, but never tried them.. might be worth a try though

Spyware used to be like Vampires - you had to let them in before they could start sucking your blood.

Lately though, there's stuff that you can get just by visiting a web page constructed certain way. Make sure you get the MS security updates released over the past 6-8 weeks.
