Spybot works pretty good, link below. If that doesn't work try going on various anti-spy vendors like mcafee, they often have free scans.

For the spyware question. Try Google Spyware Doctor. It's brand new from Google and it is free. I ran it recently and it found a lot more spy ware than other programs that I had such as Ad-ware. You can get it on Google.com.
