Greetings --
To deal any sort of "adware" and/or "spyware,"such as Gator, Comet
Cursors, Xupiter, Bonzai Buddy, or KaZaA, 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.
