These days, Spyware and Adware are becoming major problems for anyone with a computer. It seems that few websites anymore are reliable, and one can hardly click a link without putting some disruptive and annoying junk onto your computer.
The best free protection I've found are actually three programs: Spybot Search and Destroy, Adaware Personal Edition, and Spyware Blaster. Clicking any of these will direct you to Download.com, where you can download them freely and safely.
Spybot Search and Destroy and Adaware both remove programs from your computer, while Spyware Blaster keeps it from getting on there in the first place.
When you download these programs, set them all to download updates automatically, and then run them weekly.
