If you have XP, you could use system restore (it is wtfpwn). Thank Infernus for teaching me how to do this.

Start > Run msconfig > Launch System Restore. Then choose a date before you started getting the spyware.

I would run the ADAWARE first; get the download for free, run the update and run the adaware.
Then reboot, and try it again

Also, you can get REGCLEAN; also free - this will clean your registry and make a backup for you too (www.downloads.com: search for regclean)

If this fails and you are still having issues, go get zonealarm and start it up - this will monitor all activity going into and out of your PC: NOTE- most firewalls work by searching the 'input' side of your network connection- zonealarm checks both. You can effectily close down any unwanted traffic going out of your pc.

hope this helps; let us know what you did to kill it...

alright I got rid of the vast majority of it but now I have this one that finds keywords in text in the internet and turns them into links to either a life insurance company, casino, or dating service thing. I have no clue how to get that one.
