To control what programs start at start-up:
Go to Start -> Settings -> Taskbar and Start Menu
Click on the Start Menu tab
Click the Customize button
Click Advanced
You should be at your Start Menu folder for your user account. Open your Startup folder (it should be under Programs). Clear out shortcuts to anything you don't want running at startup.
You may also need to look under the Start Menu folder for All Users.
For the spyware, I recommend Ad-Aware.
