go to trendmicro.com it is free. sounds more like you might have a trojan or a worm than spyware. Trendmicro is the best that i have found on the web and does a complete search. if it does not allow it to run you might have the internet antivirus program. it is not what it says it is and takes control of anitvirus programs and directs your explorerer to go where it wants. if this is the case go to programs- accessories- system tools-system restore. use a restore point that was before this problem showed up. than after the reboot update and do a scan with your anti-virus.
