SpyBots gain access to your computer via having you access certain websites. They install "tracking cookies" in your computer.

One removal system, which is available for FREE is called SpyBot Search and Destroy. If you search for it you will find downloads offered at several websites.

I chose to download it from the web page of PC World which I was assured by someone more computer literate than I was a trustworthy site. Spybot Search & Destroy | PCWorld

After you install it, start it up and tell it to do a search. It will report the problems found and you click on the order to remove them.
Thanks for the explanation Carl. Can Spybot Search & Destroy be used in conjunction with Avast and PC Registry?
