Browser Helper Object: (BHO).

[Steve]

I am running winxp pro
I am getting xzoomy.com Free-Scratch-Cards pop ups on my computer it is an
IE spyware which pops up through Browser Helper Object
I did not download this nor do I want it. I have I not been to xzoomy.com.
can't somebody do anything about this company screwing your PC? a pop up
comes up every 5 mins and you have to spend about 1 minute closing boxes
each time.
I am running Norton Anti virus 2004 and have a router firewall up but they
still get through.
Has microsoft got a fix for people getting control of your ie explorer?

As Will Denny posted, Ad-aware or SpyBot Search & Destroy will rid your
machine of these pests.
These are the exact pests in which are infecting your machine:
