Ad-Aware

Spybot S&D

This is the best one I have found and what I use. It runs resident and prevents the crud from installing initially. There isn't a free version, there is a demo, you have to purchase it if you want to use it long term:
Webroot: Spy Sweeper

I checked my computer from stem to stern and didn't find anything but spyware. The strange thing is that I am using Ad-aware, Spybot- S&D and Webroot. I found that Windows XP has a new service pack that has a firewall, pop up blocker and some anti-virus software. If anyone is using XP you might look into downloading it.
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

It is the much awaited Service Pack 2, only has one major drawback. The update will not be mandatory for a download for many months. So now you have the hackers reverse engineering the patch to find out what all MS has fixed as expliots. This give the hackers ne w information they can reverse engineer to exploit bugs the were unaware of. I honestly think there will be an explotion of virus soon.

Reefer was there any possibility you moved the computer right before this occured. A very common occurance is that you move it then the problem starts, what happens is the people accidently move there hand across the 110/220 switch in the back and turn them to 220. On some power supplies that will cause them to turn on a few seconds then back off.
