There are several spyware, adware & malware removers that are free of charge
to run & remove spyware detected.
Adware 6
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/

Spy Sweeper
http://www.spysweeper.com/download.html

I am not sure these are free removals (I do not use them) if they do not
remove for free they will surely offer the path to the infection.
Spybot

PAL

This a program that might catch them before they reach your HDD.(free)
Download & keep updated
Spyware Blaster 3.2

Hope This Helps

Good Luck
