Hackers use spyware to get info of your PC. Get Ad-Aware and Spybot from download.com free. Scan regularly. Also delete all your cookies, internet history, temp files etc on a regular basis.

Just read some other answers, Viruses hurt your computer, Spyware hurt you!
There are two camps out there. Those that like AVG and those that don't. I personally like it. I'm sure that you will get some responses from the other camp as well. First, AVG is free. It automatically updates itself once a day with the latest virus definitions. And it is easy to use.

There are more than several options about what Virus Scanner to use. The important thing is to use one. So you are on track here.

Have fun surfing.
For free anti-spyware programs I suggest:

1. Ad-Aware 2007 Pro Free - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_a...
