Spybot is free (just Google it up) and they'll help you step by step on their site if the software alone doesn't do the job.

Just avoid any strange websites... If you surf the web like most people and just click on any link without reservation you're going to get malware. Don't follow email links from strangers either.
Yeah, been using Spybot. It didn't pick up anything. Been using it for years. I had a virus once that although removed, caused soemthing to hang everyonce in a while. Spybot on it's first run through caught w/e it was and cleared it.

Funny thing is, I didn't click anything. I went to WoWiki and before the home page even finished loading it was autoredirected. Otherwise I'm pretty careful w/ what I clik, and never link outa mail
