Check for Spyware. Look into Add/Remove programs to see if there is a
"hardcore" program present. Remove it by Add/Remove if it does exist. Get a
few spyware cleaning applications such as Spybot S&D, CWShredder, and
Ad-Aware to deal with these malicious and undesired freeloaders.

These are freeware programs (but donations to the Authors are accepted).
Install, Read the Help Files, UPDATE these programs Immediately after
installing them, and run them individually, one-by-one.

With Ad-Aware you can pretty much have it clean, and fix whatever it may
detect. The same for CWShredder. With Spybot S&D ONLY clean items which are
displayed in RED. Do NOT clean any Black or Green entries which may appear.

As a last resort HijackThis will fix most of these sorts of vermin. However,
it is a very powerful program and will require help (as can Spybot S&D when
you are trying to fix black or green entries) to safely determine the good
from the bad. DO NOT install or run it unless the former programs and
suggestions fail to remedy your problem. Then if you must use HijackThis,
get help from SpywareInfo Forums or other help forums to identify that which
is safe to remove.

websites.
