If it does can you get rid of it?

I doubt it very much, but if you are concerned with spyware run this: Malwarebytes.org (http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAgQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.malwarebytes.org%2F&ei=hxWdS7yJC5mI0wSO6ezbAQ&usg=AFQjCNF1rUbMKiFgRseh32Zb1S3MP3pO3w)

If it does can you get rid of it?

No. It does not come with any spyware. I have been running it for some time without many issues.

Make sure you get it from Google Chrome - Get a fast new browser. For PC, Mac, and Linux (http://www.google.com/chrome) . Somewhere else and it may very well have spyware.
