download avg and spybot at download.com then download avast at avast.com and they’lll do the rest all programs are free good luck
I would allow Windows to remove this itself, by running either Windows Defender or Ad-Aware 2007. Either free application will be able to remove this. I run both on my machine to get double-coverage.
You will have to Purge your System Restore points. It’s stuck in there and no program is going to be able to access that to clean it out.
Go to My Computer, right click on it with the mouse, chose properties. Go to the System Restore (tab) and place a check mark in the box "TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE" click APPLY then OK, you will receive a warning about losing restore points, click OK or Yes. Restart your computer.
After restart, go back to the same location as stated above, remove the check mark out of the box. Then head to …
Start (Button)
Programs
Accessories
System Tools
System Restore
And "Create" a new Restore point. Name it what you wish, or use today’s date 06Aug2007
