popup ads from Gain

[Guest]

I uninstalled all the GAIN* programs but I still get their popup ads. I did a
search of files and the following came up but I am afraid to extract them
because they may be part of the WIDOWS program.
gain96.dsp C:\i386\MODEM.CAB
gainwt.dsp C:\i386\MODEM.CAB
gain96.dsp C:\WINDOW\I386\MODEM.CAB
gainwt.dsp C:\WINDOW\I386\MODEM.CAB
Has anyone had a similar problem and how was it corrected?

We have had that pesky gain....I went to the registry...did a GAIN
search...and deleted folders until no new searches displayed anything....it
worked after the reboot....this was after using the removal tool from
Symantec.
