2 things I can think of;

- Spybot search and destroy
- Hijack this (be very carefull with this tool. It scans your registry for strings, but almost all strings have to be in there, make a log file and post it here then I'll check which strings can be deleted. DON'T delete anything if yo are not sure what it is.

And after you have get rid of the spyware/adware, get rid of IE and start using a real browser...

http://www.opera.com - http://www.firefox.com

Also, like what Yose said, use Adaware along side spybot.

Do not screw around with HijackThis, unless you no what your doing.

and then do as Grom said and GET FIREFOX!
