XXX server???

[lel]

Please could someone help me.
My daughter went onto a kids website, and Ive been and really its
true.
A pop up appeared with porn on , and installed itself on my computer. I
used search and deleted all i could, but i can only seem to find the
shortcuts, now everytime she goes on the net she gets it popping up
again, she is only 12 and its quite disturbing. When we close the box,
we get disconnected, and find that we have porn site icons on the
desktop.
I have also noticed that under network connection it has installed 'xxx
server' which i havent heard of before.
Has anyone any idea on how i can stop this happening.
I have firewall on, have a pop up blocker but somehow it is still
getting in.I would be so very grateful for anyhelp or advice.
Many thanks
Lel

As a first step, use the Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) program
to remove spyware:

1. Download and install the program from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

2. Run the program, updating it with the latest definitions, and
remove all of the items that it finds.

3. Re-start the computer in Safe mode.

4. Run the program repeatedly until it doesn't find any more items.

For expert help with spyware removal, see the Microsoft Windows
AntiSpyware (Beta) Newsgroups:

Besides the Windows Spyware solution, you might also try some of the free
spyware and adware removal tools that are available online from places like
www.dowload.com and www.tucows.com. I like Adaware and Spybot Search &
Destroy myself - but there are plenty of other options.
