Spybot and Adaware should clear up any virus's or browser hijackers you have on your system. These programs must be run by the user and should be done periodically.
Spybot: This will find programs that can sometimes cause you problems when you run internet explorer. One way that computers hack computers is to download software to your computer while you are browsing the internet. Sometimes that are not visible, but can be taking valuable bandwitdh. Other ways that these peices of software show themself is through hijacking your browser. When you get unwanted pop-ups or your default homepage is changed, it is time to run Spybot.

Adaware: When you browse the internet sites will place cookies and other identification files on your computer. The next time you visit that site they can reference those cookies or identification files to understand your shopping or browsing habits. These files are most of the time harmless, but are unneccessary overhead. I dont like sites constantly knowing how I shop or browse, so running adaware will identfy and cleanup those files.
