Download the program called: "Adaware" from this website:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

Update the 'reference' file first before running the program. When you
launch the program you'll see a link called: "check for updates now"
Click on it and it will get the latest 'reference' file.

If you don't have any anti-virus program on your computer then I'd do an
online scan at Panda:
