Doe's anybody know how to get this program off my
computer? Every time I reboot it comes up. I've tried
Adaware and Pest Patrol and I can't seem to get rid of
it. It's made entrys in my registry and in the Winsock
file so that it repairs itself every time I reboot.

Get rid of the spy/ad/mal-ware first..

Hijack This!

After you cleanup your PC somewhat of spy/ad/mal-ware, verify your antivirus
software is updated and run a full scan of your computer. If you have no
antivirus software - get one NOW!
