Yeah spyware can really screw you over. Always check what programs you have on startups, and occasionally open your task manager to see what processes are running. If you see an unknown process it would be smart to put the process in Google and check if it is a system process or if it is spyware or something else. If you enter credit card information online, spyware will get that and they can mess you up financially.
