Open Microsoft AntiSpyware and send a suspected spyware
report from the Tools Menu.
For maximum effectiveness, proceed as follows:
Update your Microsoft Antispyware definitions. Is your
antivirus application also up to date?
Restart the machine in safe mode and Login as Administrator
Empty your IE cache and your other temporary file folders,
eg: c:\temp, c:\windows\temp or C:\Documents and
Settings\<name>\Local Settings\Temp (the path to your temp
folder will change depending on your name) - sometimes
programmes can be hidden in there - watch out for
mysterious *.exe files or *.dll files in those folders.
