Sure.
Firstly I would go to IE Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and under the Security section place a tick next to "Empty temporary internet files folder when browser is closed", Click Apply and Ok.
Close all browser windows.

Then run the battery of anti-spyware programs as noted at http://computing.net/security/wwwboard/tools.html.
