I'd recommend getting Spybot, because of it's delightful immunization feature. Instead of just notifying you when you catch something and removing it, spybot actually blocks all known threats from functioning even if it gets on your system. Far from perfect, but it's definitely one of the best features I've seen on a spyware scanner.
If it makes you feel better, go ahead and change your pw, too.
