I was alerted through Windows there was spyware infecting my computer, how do I know if it's gone?

Question

I guess I got the spyware last night at some time. I ran AntiVir PE Classic, Ad Aware 2008, CCleaner, and SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition. The Red X at the toolbar on my computer is no longer showing up and saying that it has detected spyware on my computer, but I'm still nervous about logging into online accounts. Is there any way to be absolutely sure? I'm scarred for life, ahaha!
