Unfortunately, once your system is infected with one type of adware or spyware, there's a good chance you'll find others as well. Whether it is adware, malware, Trojans or pop up ads spyware is following and recording your personal and usage information then sending it out to intruders.
Even with highly secure firewalls or anti-virus programs your system is vulnerable to spyware because it sneaks past these securities by piggybacking on downloads that you yourself have authorized. If you are a frequent visitor of the high risk categories please consider changing your surfing habits or at least making sure your system is fully protected. i would do this by running to different spyware removal programs at different times as not not all spyware programs can detect all spyware.
Remember that prevention is always much better than finding and removing spyware. Spyware prevention is an easy task instead of finding in your system. Sometimes, however, the process of cleaning up results in the loss of valuable files.
