Spyware Help needed!

Hi,
I am not very techy and need some help. I have think I have some spyware problem on my computer. I was getting re-directed to spyheal when I opened explorer. I read a few things and ran spybot search and destroy....it seemed to fix 3 of the 4 problems identified. But the problem relating to Windows could not be solved as the program was in use or someting.

Unfortunately I can not log in as administrator as it is a work computer. Which prevents me from downloading certain programsetc. Is there any way I can check to see that the problem is gone for good?
By the way....are my personal details at risk at the moment?
Cheers for any advice.
Juan

    if the admin people at work have NOT done their job properly then there is an Adminstrator account if you boot up in safe mode , hit F8 on boot up

    if the adminstrator account come up then you can change your user profile to admin

    alternatively try running spybot in safe mode as it will be able to remove it then

    Thanks mate for the advice. I was able to reboot my computer in "safe mode with networking" and ran the program that you suggested. How do I know if it worked ok.

    The program issued to the following text:

    Sorry, I dont know what this means

    I ran it again and it seemed to find a few problems with;
    Mediaplex
    Doubleclick
    Avenue A inc
    Microsoft Window System

    It could fix all of them except the last one.

    I have not downloaded the other program.....cant see the flashing green icon.

    Thanks again for your help

    you have Hijackthis running a temp directory, you need to install it in it's own directory otherwise you lose the back ups (vital in case you delete something by mistake)
    1. Download the HijackThis Setup Program
    2. Save HJTsetup.exe to to folder of your choice, then navigate to that folder and double-click HJTsetup.exe to start the installation.
    3. By default, HijackThis (HJT) will be installed in a folder called C:\Program Files\Hijackthis. A "desktop icon" or shortcut will also be created by default.
    4. Accept all default options by continuing to click Next or Install during the setup process.
    5. When you click 'Finish', HJT will automatically open, so you can perform your reference HJT scan.
    then fix these
