Run an AV scan, and download AdAware, Spybot, and CWShredder, install them, update them, and run. Delete anything that looks suspicious. Some advise deleting everything because it's all reversible. SpyWare Blaster keeps a list of bad stuff on your computer and blocks them from being in-stalled (theoretically). But once they're there, SWB doesn't help at all. Be sure your independent (not MS’s) firewall is enabled.

Spybot

AdAware

CWShredder

disable system restore and do another scan.
Sometimes the file is not accessible because system restore has it saved.
