Please download, install and update the following software...
Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/
After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.
I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.
