Also grab Hijackthis and Spybot search and destory, generally speaking no one single program tends to find all of the spyware software out there, using multiple will give you a greater chance of finding and removing it.
If your browser is Internet Explorer, then I would also recommend you that you immunize your system and permanently block subsequent spyware from altering your IE settings with spybot S&D 1.3 after you have scanned and cleaned your system of adware and spyware. You could also turn on the resident feature in spybot which will alert you when you navigate to sites trying to download known adware or spyware to your system. This protection however comes with a little inconvenience but worth the hassle.... you won't be able to access internet options from the tools menu in IE anymore, you will have to go through control panel instead.

Sadly, most Family Court Judges wrongfully reward opportunistic gold diggers that use our children unjustly as "instruments" of power.
xpsp2 really helps protect against this stuff too - I really do suggest installing ASAP - the only apps that 'break' are ones that are poorly architected and so won't work with firewalls - you can open the firewall to specific apps easily. I've been running betas and now RTM of XPSP2 for months now - it is solid, it seems
