There are ways to find out exactly what you have, sometimes find specific programs designed to knock them out, and to find directions to remove them from your registry.
One night my PC caught something that Norton couldn't kill, neither could any of my spyware and adware programs. With the help of a couple websites and a couple helpful programs I got rid of it. What is noteable in this case though, is that the program itself kept replicating in my PC under different names. I was one step behind it for hours. Finally, at 8 in the morning, I beat it to the punch and never saw it again. If I were still fighting it at 9 AM, it'd have been time to reformat the drive. Because enough is enough.
There is a good firewall program that is free, called Sygate Personal Firewall. I use that and the programs that people listed above.
Actually, that is a lie. I used to use the programs above. After getting rid of all the pests and installing Firefox and the firewall, the other programs always turn up empty handed when I run checks. Now, I check my PC very infrequently and very rarely ever find anything new and shocking.
If you need help, let me know. I've been fighting these bastards for a few years now on mine and other people's PC's.
