Try Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy together, they do a great job
of cleaning all that cruft off your computer.  Be sure to have them
completely up to date before you scan.  BTW, the size of your hard drive
has nothing to do with the length of the scan.  It's the amount of files
and their sizes that dictate the scan-length.  Anyways, that doesn't
really matter because it's WELL WORTH THE WAIT to clean spyware and
viruses from your computer.
