Be very wary with any security software that is advertised in popups or in other ways. They are not only usually of no use, but often have malware in them.
More information and downloads are available at the following links:
Spyware Blaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
Spyware Guard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.
