Go to the link on the left-hand side that says "ad-Aware Personal"
This is the best program I've had on my computer. It gets rid of spyware, adware, and all the icky stuff that makes your computer SUPER slow. It can also get rid of Trojans that haven't infected your system, as I discovered the other day.
There's also Microsoft Anti-Spyware. I beleive you can download it free from the Microsoft website. You may also already have it- use your computer's search feature.
