There's a setting in the general-options to do a scan on startup, and set it in the scan-options to check all files...

Spyware itself isn't dangerous, just annoying and an invasion of privacy..

As long as you've got an up to date virus scanner you should be fine against trojans, worms and the like.

Also try Bazooka Spysearch or something like that. It doesn't automatically remove spyware like adaware does, but it seems to have a better idea of what's installed.

It then provides you with loads of info on what each program is/does and how to remove it.

My AdAware does a full system-scan on startup, safer that way! :)

Looks like a trojan horse. Just did a quick search for you, someone reccomends running adaware first and see if that helps.
