Here are some free online tools you can try to get rid of some spyware: A-Squared On Line Trojan Scan -- http://www.windowsecurity.com/trojanscan/
BitDefender On Line Scan -- http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html
Ewido On Line Scan -- http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/

In addition, if you go to the virus & security alers forum, look at the very first post. It lists some tools to use, where to get them, and how to set them up.
Good luck,
Eddie
