Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware : download, install, update and scan.
Should knock off most (if not all) of your problems.

what site actually u were visiting.... because some fake site displays syware warning or they themselves install spyware then say that your system is under attack and then they try to sell u the spyware cleaner...... don't get into these type of trap.....

anyhow you shold always have good spyware scanner on when ever u surf the net....as suggested spybot is one of the best...go for it and always keep it on after scanning... other alternative is from PCtools...also worth trying....
