Please read carefully as it may or may not apply to your situation - ask
questions first - you may not get answers *right away* someone will help.

Removal Tool, your choice, novice users, Lavasoft's Ad-aware,

Advanced users, SpyBot Search & Destroy,
The download executable, here:

SpyBot home: http://security.kolla.de/
SpyBot How-To: http://www.tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/
More... http://tomcoyote.org/~mosaic1/spybot/

If you choose SpyBot - don't be shy to ask questions, I know that many ofyou
are silently running it out there and may be struggling a bit...

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.

For the even more adventuresome, there's JavaCool's spywareblaster,

SpywareBlaster by JavaCool takes a different, complementary approach. Instead of
detecting or removing its targets, it inoculates your computer by tellingit
never to execute certain software. This stops you downloading some types of
parasite, and stops others from working. However, like the script on thispage,
it can only target ActiveX controls, so it is not a complete solution.

Thanks,
