Coping with Spyware
If you think your computer may have had spyware installed on it, you should run a legitimate anti-spyware program. Ad-Aware, SpySweeper, PestPatrol, and Spybot Search and Destroy are well-known and trustworthy programs that will search your computer for spyware and eliminate it. Always make sure to use the most current version of these programs available, as spammers continually create new software. Some virus scanners will help you remove spyware as well, although these are often less effective than a dedicated spyware program.
