"Garbrecht, Frederick" <FGarbrecht () ecogchair org> sent a good answer.
I am a paranoid in security,although I am not an expert at it.
For removing Spywares  use Adaware  www.lavasoft.de
For removing Key-Loggers use  Anti-Keyloggers  www.Anti-Keyloggers.com
and don`t worry about Adwares ,because thay just have a advertising
banner like Opera Browser www.opera.com.
if you are a paranoid (like me ) ,block Adwares too.
