well if its a program watching you, you can boot up safe mode with networking. an easy way to get it to start in safe mode with networking everytime is to go to start-run-msconfig. somewhere in msconfig u can tell it to boot safe mode

Rather than purchase something you can go to http://www.lavasoft.com/ and download Ad-Aware - a very effective tool.  You can also go to http://spywareinfo.com and use their online spyware scanner.  I reccomend doing both, in fact, as one always seems to catch something the other didn't...  I know you said that you don't want to download anything, but there's really no need for that at all.

Yes you most definitly can, those search engines have all your information as soon as you type in that url.\nMy advice is to get you some good protection against stuff like that. You can get various stuff to protect your computer from giving out to much info

Do you mean when you start to type an address, a drop-down menu appears with other addresses you've visited? If so, and you want to stop your computer from doing that, do this (in Internet Explorer):\n\nClick on "Tools".\nClick on "Internet Options".\nClick on the "Content" tab.\nIn the Personal Information" section, click on "Auto Complete".\nThen uncheck "Web Addresses".\nClick OK.\nClick OK (again).\n\nThat will stop the addresses from appearing and you will not have to (repeated/periodically) "clear history".

Use a pop-up blocker if they come up as pop-up windows (yahoo toolbar may do the work for you). Also select high level of security in your browser. That would prevent many unwanted sites from being opened. Also use a firewall (you can get a personal firewall like zone alarm for free).
