    1) make sure you've got all your patches for XP.

    2) Download Webroot Spy Sweeper OR Spybot OR AD Aware. Get the most recent updates for them then run them. If you've got any music file sharing apps. (which most people have) it's these and illegitimate copies/hacked versions and sharware that are full of spy software. As well as dodgy sites.

    u can get spyware removers from www.download.com

    Webroot is meant to be the best, also runs activley in memory so can stop further infections.

    True, but it is also the slowest by a long way.

    Get AdAware Craig, easyest to use.

    get it HERE

    Download will start automatically once the page loads :)
