   I would download and run Ad-Aware, (free) be sure to
update it after you install it.

 You should also run Spybot Search and Destroy, (free)
 http://www.safer-networking.org

Then run at least one of these free online virus scan programs,

RAV
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/

Panda:

BitDefender
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/license.php

After you are sure the machine is clean download
and install SpywareBlaster(free) to help keep it that way

Good Luck,
Tom
