I would download Hi-Jack This and follow the instructions on how to post the
results where someone can help you.
http://www.download.com/3000-8022-10227353.html
Also use Adaware SE (Lavasoft), CWShredder (Intermute), Spybot Search and
Destroy and SpywareBlaster - all free and good protection. McAfee also have
a great tool - "Stinger", again free.
I recommend that you go for a package with McAfee including Firewall Plus
and Viruscan. They also have Privacy Service if you want to restrict other
users web access, kids for instance.
Norton gets a lot of criticism in the media and forums. Never used it so am
neutral there.
