I like spybot but we caught something really nasty here last year and spybot couldn't get rid of it
I think the virus/spyware actually disabled spybot.
And then anytime I tried to go to a spyware removal site in IE I got redirected (by the spyware of course) to whatever program they were trying to sell me.

I had to go download netscape and then use that to download ad aware....which cleared it right up.

Started using firefox after that....no problems since (knock on wood)

Anyhow, the application that most IT departments depend on is Giant Software's product, which was recently purchased by Microsoft, and is now available as a free beta at:

If you're getting a bunch of popups and browser hijacks it sounds like you got that new VX2 bug and or CoolWWWSearch. I spent 10 hours last week on my mothers computer trying to get rid of it... it's a bitch.

The best option is to get those software people have been mentioning. HijackThis, Spybot and AdAware. There are spyware forums where you post the logs from HijackThis and the people give you a bunch of things to do over and over, it's a pain in the ass but really the only way you can get rid of it. Here is one of the forums.
