www.downloads.com search for spybot search and destroy , then ad-aware.

Edited: like mercy said right b4 me

install/run both. then get a different browser.. anything is better then ie and safer. i suggest firefox/mozilla

btw, reformating is good thing to do occasionaly, even if u dont have problems.

yeah...i agree with the different browsers...I personally use firefox .90 beta and it works great..and has a lot of extensions that you can add to the browser that does a lot of useful things..

also, it doesnt hurt to format every now and then...and a little tip when doing it, make the harddrive into at least 2 partitions. One small one for the OS and then install all the programs on the second partition, that way you dont have to reinstall everything when you want to reformat the computer. You just make new shortcuts to the programs.

As I said before I use Bazooka. It goes into great detail on how to get rid of those things.
