Spyware

I removed an unwanted popup search engine using
cwshredder and things seemed to be ok until I restarted
my computer and an error message popped up saying: Error
loading C:\windows\image.dll I then restored this file
from the trash bin and as a result I was getting the
unwanted search engine popping up again. Please help me
fix this problem.

Thank You,

Brian
