Much of today's spyware is delivered via the Zlob family of Trojan downloaders. Some security softwares are available on the internet. The free SmitFraudFix tool does a good job of removing many variants of Zlob-related adware and spyware. For the free download and usage instructions, see http://antivirus.about.com/od/freeantivirussoftware/fr/smitfraudfix.htm I have used MalwareBytes and it does a good job of removing scareware, rogue software that hijacks your computer and tries to scare you into purchasing "protection". For the free download and usage instructions, visit: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
