Don't forget to re-hide all files and folders. To re-hide all files and folders:
Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab.
Under the Hidden files and folders heading deselect "Show hidden files and folders".
Check the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm.
Click OK.
To prevent re-infection in the future:
I suggest you download Spyware Blaster to prevent the installation of Spyware in the first place.
IE-Spyad puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all and I suggest you download it.
Another excellent program I recommend is SpywareGuard. It provides a degree of real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.
