Greetings --
To deal with issues caused by any sort of "adware" and/or
"spyware,"such as Gator, Comet Cursors, eAnthology, Xupiter,
BonziBuddy, or KaZaA, etc., and their remnants, that you've
deliberately (but without understanding the consequences) installed,
two products that are quite effective (at finding and removing this
type of scumware) are Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search
& Destroy from http://security.kolla.de/. Both have free versions.
It's even possible to use SpyBot Search & Destroy to "immunize" your
system against most future intrusions. I use both and generally
perform manual scans every week or so to clean out cookies, etc.
