Make sure to download a good antivirus program, recommended ones would be Kaspersky, NOD32, AVG, Avast, Avira etc.
Also get Malwarebytes as stated above, scan, remove everything the A/V finds
On a side note, I think Tech section needs a clear and separate FAQ/guide about viruses and keyloggers since these threads are so repetitive.

Download and install "Malwarebytes" anti-spyware scanner (Google the name for the download link). Run it, but before you start the scan, click the UPDATE tab and tell it to update itself so it will be able to find all the newest trojans and spyware (like keyloggers). When it's done updating, click the SCAN tab and tell it to do a full scan.
When it's finished, it will tell you if it found anything. If it did, click the QUARANTINE tab and tell it to Delete All that it found.
Also, it's a good idea to run Malwarebytes about once a week (and be sure to update it each time) to make sure your computer stays clean of spyware.
