I never figured out where it came from but it was there. I opened my anti spyware software and attempted to run updates but it failed (probably due to the spyware). I knew I could go online to get definition updates so I opened Internet Explorer but it would not open any websites. I thought for sure I would have to wipe the laptop after that happened. Fortunately I had a second web browser, Mozilla Firefox. I opened that browser and was able to get to any website so I got my definitions for my anti spyware. I was then able to remove the spyware and was able to get to websites in Internet Explorer again.

My suggestion after all this is that you should ALWAYS have a backup web browser. A few of note are: Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, and Google Chrome.
