Before running any removers Download and install AdawareSE. Then go to control panel> internet options> delete files and cookies. Then go to Windows explorer and delete any files in the Windows\temp folder. Then run Adaware and delete all found files. Then run Spybot and delete all files. Then click on immunize and after spybot tells you how many file can be added click on the green immunize icon. This will block the addresses for all the immunized files. Update and run both programs at least weekly.

I agree with previous poster - download AdAwareSE - also download Mozilla Firefox Browser from download.com - That will stop these repeat offenders from getting back in.

Oh - and also download something like RegSeeker - also free from download.com

Make sure there are no nasties in your registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - software - microsoft - windows - current version - "run" and also "run services"

If you are still in trouble after the above download and Run this (geared towards trojans):
A2FREE

You asked how to prevent malware. When you have sorted out your problems download, update & run SpywareBlaster. This not a fixer but a preventer. You will no longer need SpyBot's "Immunize feature" activated because they acknowledge that SpywareBlaster is a better bet for this. Keep SpyBot itself on board tho.

May I suggest, perhaps, your mother or father or sister maybe?

It's not the browser. It is the individual that is using it.

It is sort of like "guns don't kill people; people kill people"

Not intending to insult; only intending to educate.

Why don't they make computers that will do what we think we want them to do?
