Spyware

Just about the best spyware/malware/virus/trojan removal list I've run across:

Starts with setup prior to actual removal. In step 3 it goes on to the removal procedures. Just follow all the instructions.

Note that there are not only free scanners to download, there are several on-line scanners that work well too. Some will remove the bad stuff, others will only tell you what it is.

Also consider removing or shutting off yahoo and google toolbars in your browsers (especially Internet Explorer), as well as un-installing any other toolbars. It's ok to put them back later, but google toolbars are sometimes infected, and once and a while a yahoo toolbar can be infected also. If a toolbar refuses to shut off or be un-installed, it is probably infected.
