Try Ad-Aware for starters. It's free.

Thanks. The first thing I tried were both Ad Aware and Spy Bot. Didn't fix the problem, unfortunately.

Have Norton, Ad-Aware, and Spybot Search and Destroy all three been updated to address the most recent threats?

Also, you can use the Windows Task Manager (Cntl+Alt+Delete) to find which processes are running and consuming CPU capacity. To find a description of the services and selectively shut down those that you suspect, go to the Control Panel, then to Administrative Tools, then to Services Shortcut. To find that stuff, you may have to change your Task Bar and Start Menu to the "Classic Start Menu."

Good Luck.

I just got the new version of Ad Ware and it really even better and of course spy bot, but Adware does the job!

I had to do a Quick Restore that means strip the C hard drive ULG!

Than restore what you can and gear up with an anti-virus
I got E-Trust EZ antivirus for free 1 year so far I am doing find!

I found it on a list that microsoft had offer of anti-virus co. I chose this one E-Trust
