Most likely, no. Because spyware isn't a virus, it's installed when you install another program, usually a file sharing program or music sharing program. It's in the agreement or in fine print on their website that says it will install the advertisement program (spyware).

Like others have said, just get ad-aware and it will clean the spyware from your PC.
