Please learn how to post before asking a question.
Rule Number 1: NEVER EVER name a thread "URGENT." Be descriptive in your thread names.
Rule Number 2: NEVER double/tripple post like that. Use the "edit" button. What you're doing is just spamming.
If you disobey these rules your questions will be ignored by others and you will be warned. Keep doing it afterwards and you'll be banned.

Download & install Adaware, update it & in settings make sure to tick; scan within archives, deep scan registry & then in 'Tweak' tick automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion. Run the scan & place a check next to everything it finds & remove them.
Download Spybot S & D, update & run it. Remove everything it finds. Within this program there is an option to 'immunise'. do this. There is also a link to spywareblaster, follow the link, download & install it, then update it. This program runs in the background to keep those little bugs out.
If that doesn't fix it, download HijackThis & unzip it into it's own folder (not a temporary one) then run it & press the scan button. When the scan is finished the scan button will change to 'save.' Save the log to a text file & copy it then paste it back here.

If you're going to use Adaware make sure you have the latest version from http://www.lavasoft.de
Adaware 6 is the right version...when you launch it there's an option to "Check for updates now", make sure you do that...this is the reference file for Adaware and you want it to be able to catch as much as possible.
