PLEASE HELP! My EX roommate downloaded this software called "Live XXX Shows" and I need help deleting it. I've deleted everywhere possible I can think of and when I reboot it comes back up. I believe I have to delete it from the registry but having a hard time finding it. Please help!

Do a Google search for Spybot and Adaware. Both are free programs that remove spyware from your system.
Run them both and they should find the links that keep repeating themselves and delete them for you.
Good luck

I was able to remove it from a friend's system, was a real pain.

if you don't have spybot you can get it from download.com. When you can launch it run in 'advanced mode'. Select Tools on the left side. then select 'startup' you will see a executable file called camsexez or something like that. uncheck it or highlight and delete. You will also want to delete the same file name from c:\

Might not be a bad idea to remove c:\ecommerce folder as well.

good luck.

Dennis

Dennis, thank you but.....

Spybot search and destroy - I never saw the advanced mode option or even "tools" so I couldn't follow your instructions. I only had the option to "check for problems" and then to "fix the problems" which I did. I even downloaded Spysweeper and ran that and deleted everything that showed up and still when I rebooted it was back.....Please help again!
