Go here http://www.footslog.com/board/Archives/Archive-000003/HTML/20050327-16-000026.html download Spybot, Adaware, and then MS Antispyware, you have to use this link for MS Antispyware http://www.footslog.com/board/Archives/Archive-000003/HTML/20060309-16-000034.html make sure you update all the software programs You will need to boot into safe mode before you run the scans http://www.footslog.com/board/Forum19/HTML/000188.html then once you have all of them updated then run all those scans then go back to the first link I provided and download Hijack this, and after all the scans and after you have deleted all things that these programs have found then post a hijack this log. Unfortunately websites that offer free software come bundled as you have found out with Spyware and I would not be surprised you have viruses on your machine. So do not use system restore, so you may have to turn off system restore, and all of your restore points will be deleted.
