Yes, Ad-aware from Lavasoft.com will get rid of it for free.

For Ad-Aware:

For SpyBot:

I highly suggest to all Spywareblaster, which helps "immunize" against the scum.

As with all programs, check for updates at least weekly!

Make sure it is Lavasoft Adware or spybot. There are several "adware" programs that make you think they are Adware.

I can add nothing to the replies you have received concerning the problem except to say thanks to those who've replied to you.

Things like this should serve as a warning of caution to others.
Beware of what you download and install on your computers.
God Bless

By the way, here's a thread worth reading and bookmarking! Seems in the last 6 months or so there's been a lot of scumbags pretending to be spyware killers that install more of the same!

I have had the dsame thing happen before and run both Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy one after the other about every week and they wil clean your system right up.
Simply using the Add/Remove utility in the control panel will not do it since the program on your computer probably won't show up in there and will reload itself after the next time you turn on your computer.
I had that happen to me and at the time thought the only way to fix it was to format my hard drive. Since I have been using Ad-Aware and Spybot I have not had a problem.
