Xads...

[crashingflwrgrl]

Does anyone know how to get rid of something called xads?
Everytime I open Explorer, it opens two windows and one
say xads briefly before it goes to my homepege. Why would
2 windows open? Also Explorer sometimes goes screwy and
opens dozens of windows like it's "skipping" or something.
After I've "ended task" like crazy it say something
about "explorer is debugging" Any suggestions?
