We held a training class where i work and when i received
my laptop back i found a weird thing. If i am on any
webpage and i right click, in that dialog box that comes
up on the bottom above where it says properties there is a
line that says "<<<<<free porn galleries>>>>>" I have no
idea how it got there or how to get rid of it. I have run
spybot as well as adaware with no luck. I have deleted
suspicious objects from my browser. I think that it would
be held in the registry i just dont know where. I would
appreciate any help.

Removal Tool, your choice, novice users, Lavasoft's Ad-aware,
http://ftp.pcworld.com/pub/new/privacy___security/aaw6181.exe
Lavasoft/Ad-aware home: http://www.lavasoftusa.com
Mirror site: http://www.lavasoft.de/

Advanced users, SpyBot Search & Destroy,
http://studserver.uni-dortmund.de/~su1669/spybotsd12.exe

SpyBot home: http://security.kolla.de/
SpyBot How-To: http://www.tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/

Install either but both are not necessary, reboot, read FAQ and overview, use
online update feature to obtain the latest reference files, scan for Spyware
much like you would with your pre-installed anti-virus scanner.
Rid your machine of unwanted Spyware pests.

You're welcome, but credits should to go to Alan Edwards,
mentioned as the source below.

By the way, you may want to check your registry for
www.the-exit.com(/search). It may be related to this other
problem. Hijack this! helped very much to identify this
annoying thing and removing it.

Regards, Goose.
