lots of websites have them, working as a computer repair technician we get about 90% of our clients having spyware issues. having had them before myself, they come from downloads, installed from websites, and also comes bundled with a lot of software you buy as well, including your OS if you bought it from someone like HP, Compaq, Gateway, ect. lots of them come preloaded with spyware right out of the box. Also what program are you using? Ad-aware and spybot PC-cillin, Mcafee or Norton anything, only pick up a fraction of the spyware and some of the spyware removal utilities actually are pieces of spyware themselves, 2 great ones right now are spysweeper (currently running on my computer) and Microsoft antispy currently in beta (yes microsoft actually made a good product.) Anyways just my 2 cents from the trade. BTW Norton and Mcafee are WONDERFUL for antivirus, just not to useful for spyware removal and prevention by anymeans, at least as of yet.
