POP UP ADD ATTACHED TO BROWSER

[Mike]

I have a pop up add that I know is attached to my IE6.0
browser. It pops up each time I go on line. I have
changed Home pages and it still pops up and that is how I
determined that its attached to the browser and not
associated with any one Home page. The add always has
the same URL: http://ads.x10.com/xstream Can anyone tell
me how to get rid of this.
Thanks!

This could be the reference in the registry and the files associated with
it.

{D319662B-D5BF-4538-ADF3-8D3E36362608}
BHO x0ff.dll

Mike,
Your problem exists from "ClearStream Accelerator"

Looks like this in HijackThis:

- hxxp://www.riversoftware.net/x0ff.cab (URL disabled)

FYI: "riversoftware.net" and "x10" = same company

You have probably inadvertently downloaded and installed adware,
spyware, parasite, trojan or a browser hijacker from some web site:
