If you have a problem in Internet Explorer where www.topclicks.net keeps loading every time you open a new window do the following. First go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ and download Ad-aware a small download and free :@)
Do a deep registry scan and you will probably find something like this:

K Alexa
clsid\{69550be2-9a78-11d2-ba91-00600827878d}

K Alexa
software\microsoft\internet explorer\explorer\explorer bars\{69550be2-9a78-11d2-ba91-00600827878d}

K Alexa
software\microsoft\internet explorer\explorer\extensions\{c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a}


Hmmm… Interesting… explorer seems to have a new toolbar???

Load up Internet Explorer, click on the ‘View’ menu and select Toolbars as well as Standard Buttons, Address Bar, and Links you will see a tick by an empty space. I think we have found the culprit ;0) go back to Ad-aware and delete the suspect reg entries. Bye-Bye www.topclicks.net I will never have to see your ugly site again.

Anyone that doesn't ALREADY have Adaware is missing the boat.And anyone that doesn't already have Spybot is,as well...
Since Spybot is leaving Adaware in the dust.

Well, TheKid, I used spybot and removed spyware... But my system never was the same again. I had to reinstall windows. So victory for ad-aware...

Then you didn't use it correctly.

Did you know that if you remove a spyware component that's bundled with other software,that that program is extremely likely not to function properly and possibly render your system unstable?

I get you The Kid, I guess I deleted too much or bundled stuff. I give spybot a second change (or myself?) Thanx for the advise...

Hey Dennis.If you run Spybot again,use the info&license tab then click credits.You will find a link to the Spybot support forum.The developer and Spybot support team members can advise you on any questions about removal.If you can paste your detections screen,they are very good at helping you with what to remove.I have a registry cleaner,so I don't use the system internals check.Hope this helps you.JB

hi james,
instead of downloading a free program not that they are not usefull but why not let internet explorer do the restricting for you. you can restrict that site by go to tools, internet options, security, restricted sites and there you will click on sites and add this site to the restricted zone>>>>type in www.topclicks.net, click ok and that site will never harass you again.
hope this helps,
murve

Topclicks.net has somehow attached itslef to my itnernet explorer but only pops-up when I go to Yahoo. basically any yahoo site such as mail.yahoo.com or my.yahoo.com etc. opens up topclick.
I have downloaded and installed Ad-aware and deleted Alexa & Double click but topclick is still remained on my system and still apears! and everytime it appears again double click installs itself! Can anyone help me with this and give me a solution. Thanks.

How to kill it?
I couldn't getting rid it yet.
I've downloaded Ad-aware but suddendly when I start i.e. topclicks.net redirect my original address to it.
The big problem is topclicks.net isn't regular. Sometimes he redirect sometimes not.
I've done everything that I know but he come back several times.
Can one of you help me?
I think it would be more easy just know where is the server of topclicks.net and explode it!
