Try downloading and running Ad-Aware. It scans your
registry and files for spyware and adware then allows you
to delete them or quarantine them, much like an anti-
virus program. After that, go into IE properties and
delete all your cookies and files and clear your
history. Make sure your home page is set to something
more friendly also. Good luck.
