Well Spybot, Ad-Aware and AVG are all free, but you need to install all of them. There are however a few websites that do free online scans, yahoo or even google for "free online virus scan" or check out

hope that helps!
For virus’s get something like Norton or Mcafee or something free like Avast or whatever. For sypware get the free MS one, Windows Defender.
avg has a good adware and spyware remover for free, but i think it is only a 30 day trial
If you do not have firefox get it now and use it instead of internet explorer so you dont get any more spyware http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/
To remove the spyware/trojan/virus run steps 1-2-3
1) If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/2007/03/spybot-search-and-destroy-spyware-and.html do that now .Update it (Latest updates 28-3-2007) and then run it so it gets rid of all the spyware and trojans in safe mode
1b) Run AVG Anti-Spyware Free

2) Do an online virus scan to check and remove virus and spyware if you still have viruses on your computer. And let us know if the online virus scan still finds any virus or spyware .
