Thanks alot.
 
Greetings --

To deal with issues caused by any sort of "adware" and/or
"spyware,"such as Gator, Comet Cursors, Smiley Central, 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 www.safer-networking.org/. 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:

Good advice Bruce gives. As well, beware that the isearch bar will block attempts to reach some of the anti-spyware sites. I know, because I fought it on a client's pc yesterday! You may have to go to the site(s) via IP address, or, download it on another pc and put it (them) on a USB key or CD. Good luck!

p.s. My favorite tools are, in no particular order, AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy (v 1.3) and hijack this
