Antivirus and firewall tools do not usually remove spyware, and the ones that do are very limited. A Spyware removal tool (or two) is needed.

Spyware comes from many places, and is not installed unless the user gives it permission to be installed. Either through downloaded programs, ads, popups, emails, etc.
