Do you tend to get a lot of spyware? If so, do any of the following apply?
1) Use P2P applications often
2) Don't have/ don't use antivirus
3) Visit porn sites often (including some seedier ones)
4) Visit seedy warez sites
5) Don't have a firewall
6) Use IE
If you don't have a firewall, get one.
If you use IE, stop. I used to get so much crap through IE...
If you use P2P a lot, or download from sites that don't look very reputable, be aware that probably 80% of the files are infected somehow. Scan them first. Also, if a site makes you download a program to browse their files, for the love of god, don't!
And then download a couple of spyware removers like spybot and ad-aware. There's a whole thread about spyware in the Computers board.
