  1. Download Yahoos anti-spy, if windows defender isn't doin it.


  2. SpyBot Search and Destroy; http://www.filehippo.com/

  3. A very good, free anti-virus available to download is AVG 8 Anti-virus:

    http://www.free.grisoft.com

    And for any spyware problems, get SpyBot - Search and Destroy:

    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirro...

    Both are free, as powerful as paid programs, like Norton and McAfee, and don't use up as many resources.

    Just boot into Safe Mode (Press F8 when turning on the computer) and run full scans.

    Hope that helps.

  4. There are many programs which can do this, some are free and some must be paid for. There is a site which compares popular privacy programs here:
