Unfair! You used a canned post to reply--I had to dig up all those references. We probably started at the same time but due to my advanced age, you finished nine minutes earlier.
--------------------then------------- Use these to remove Malware (Spyware and Adware).
1) SpyBot Search and Destroy After installing SpyBot Search & Destroy, first press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates. Next, close all Internet Explorer windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all the items it marks in red.
2) Get Ad-Aware After installing Ad-Aware, and before running the program, first press “check for updates now". Click "Connect" and install all updated components available. Click 'Finish'. Press "Scan Now", then 'next', and let Ad-Aware scan your drives. It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys. Click 'Next' again. Check all found items, and click 'next' once more. It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK.
Always reboot the computer between each program - both of these may find things that they need to have a reboot of the machine to clear - please reboot and let them finish .
Failing those solving your problems a post of a hijackthis log for the experts to advise.

I, and the other hijack experts mentioned above, are in all those sites (and more) with the same login names. You might get one of us at those sites also to anwser your log, but other experts will also be available.
Am doing these so often now, I need the canned messages. I fact we are advised to have canned fixes for these so that we have less chance of a slip up.
Would you be interested in TomCoyotes Classroom, we could do with some good help, My thoughts on spyware is that it is going to get worse before it gets better. And would you believe that one of my teachers is under 16. I'm 3 times older.

Download CWShredder from the link here under "Removal Instructions." It should correct the problem.
If it doesn't use HiJackThis and post the log it generates on one of the sites listed here. Also see this.

Sorry Denny,
Am doing these so often now, I need the canned messages. I fact we are advised to have canned fixes for these so that we have less chance of a slip up.
Would you be interested in TomCoyotes Classroom, we could do with some good help, My thoughts on spyware is that it is going to get worse before it gets better. And would you believe that one of my teachers is under 16. I'm 3 times older.
