Try “Spybot - Search & Destroy” its quite efficient and I’ve been using it for the past 3 or so years…
It also includes a resident (works in the background) program “Tea Timer” which monitors the Registry for changes and asks the user’s permission before allowing them - thus you can check what is going on when you run some programs which drop ‘bombs’ into the registry/change settings etc.
Highly recommended…
(The download page features a ‘Donation’ section for those who feel that the program is worth supporting by PayPal.)

Well they aren’t free, but are trials and work great
Antimalware Malwarebytes
Spyware Doctor
Spyhunter
SuperAntiSpyware
Spyware Detector
Any one, two or three of those should work wonders.
