If you google "AdAware" it's a good program to scan/remove spyware from your computer.
I recommend the Google Toolbar (get the latest beta if the final version isn't out), which has neat features like replacing the crappy default MSN search, and also has a really great popup blocker. It's super satisfying to hear the "hollow click" sound of the goole toolbar blocking a popup.
Plus, I'd much rather install software from Google than some random company out there like HotBar who probably sells your contact info to "marketing partners" who spam you. to death.
