I would also suggest that you run regular antivirus scans, as well as regular antispyware scans.
If you need a free antivirus program, you may want to try using AVG, which can be downloaded from the link below.

If you need a free antispyware program, you may want to try using AdAware, which can be downloaded from the link below.
