I would recommend running this application:

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7423,00.asp

It will remove spy ware applications that have been installed. You should
be very careful what you agree to install when you see the security warning
message, as that is how these programs probably got installed.

First, fix the caps lock key on your keyboard. Second, use products like
AdAware, Pest Patrol, Spybot Search and Destroy and a good anti-virus and
firewall application to keep your system bug free.

Greetings --

First of all, please unstick your CapsLock key. Posting in all
caps, as you have done, is the Usenet equivalent of shouting, and is
considered very rude. More importantly, posting in all caps makes the
post very hard to read, further reducing your chances of getting help.

To deal with issues caused by any sort of "adware" and/or
"spyware,"such as Gator, Comet Cursors, Xupiter, Bonzai Buddy, or
KaZaA, and their remnants, that you've deliberately (but without
understanding the consequences) installed, two products that are
quite effective (at finding and removing this type of scumware) are
Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search & Destroy from
http://security.kolla.de/. Both have free versions. It's even
possible to use SpyBot Search & Destroy to "immunize" your system
against most future intrusions. I use both and generally perform
manual scans every week or so to clean out cookies, etc.

Additionally, manual removal instructions for the most common
varieties of scumware are available here:
