If you've installed Ad Aware, run it. Then start the scan. Once its finished, just click all the checkboxes to the files it found and click next. [addsig]

(Scripts are not allowed!) can't recall about adaware, but spybot will allow you to immunize and block many future issues.. i prefer spybot..

but you must chose, cause adaware and spybot do not like each other..

google search spybot

If you run Ad Aware every week (if you do lots of surfing on different sites) if not, every 2 weeks should do. [addsig]

No your advice was good also, WC just beat you to the answer, maybe if you weren't scraching your ass so much you could get to the answer faster, lol
