There are several domains, "affiliatetarget.com",

all they can to screw up my getting things done on the Web. When I
click on links, go back or whatever, they pop up with a marketing scam
representing companies such as Target, Wal-Mart, Victorias Secret,
Starbucks, etc. They want you to sign up for a $500 gift card. I don't
know whether these are worms, trojans, a virus or what. I have a
firewall installed and am about to install an anti-virus program but
in the meantime cannot seem to keep out these domains. Is there any
way to 1) get information on these domains and who owns them, 2)
report these domains as internet abusers, and 3) get rid of this
problem? I tried also to purge out my cookies and temporary internet
files with no success.
Go through the following removal steps systematically:

Because you went online without an antivirus installed, make sure you go
through the preparatory steps and scan with either Sysclean or David
Lipman's Multi-AV as described at the link above.
