First make sure you don't have a virus. If you don't have a virus scanner installed on your computer, what are you waiting for!?! Go get one and install it; real-time protection helps prevent a lot of these problems. haha. Anyway, there are online virus scanners that work pretty well, so use those too. (Housecall is a really good one to use; it's the first one listed on Google.)
Anyway, if you get rid of the virus or don't have any virii, you can get rid of the rest of the stuff pretty easy. Download the following programs: CWShredder, Adaware, Spybot, and M$'s AntiSpyware. Install Adaware, Spybot, and AntiSpyware. Then, restart in Safe Mode. Run them all in order of the way I listed them above (starting with CWShredder..). That should get rid of most of it. If you have any more problems, you can download a program called HiJackThis. DON'T delete anything with that though, or you could screw up your computer. Just scan your computer with it, save the log, and send the log to me. I'll e-mail ya back with what to delete. Hopefully that'll get rid of everything. _________________
