Purchasing the programs that the help screen suggests will probably only make matters worse for you. There are some fake spyware programs that people are tricked into buying by a popup telling them that their computer is infected.

Do a full scan from http://housecall.trendmicro.com

Alternatives for just spyware scanning are Adaware or Spybot Search & Destroy.

Antivirus scanning you've got your regular culprits of Norton or McAfee, but I've encountered problems with at least 50% of computers that has McAfee, and Norton seems to really bog down they computer lately. I'd buy Trend Micro PC-Cillin. I use AVG and it is a free antivirus scanner.
