Morning! To get rid of unwanted software you want to go to add remove programs and remove them. To do this you want to click START, Control Panel and then look for Add REMOVE PROGRAMS. Open this up and wait for the list to populate. When the full list comes up go down and select the programs you want to remove and remove them. Some programs have unistall features directly in the PROGRAMS menu on the START tab and you can get rid of them from their easiest. Once you have deleted all the programs you want you should prob run a defrag. This will help to compile all the free space on your disk that is now defragmented all over the place. This should help. Good Luck!

Go to Registry and remove it.  If you have Norton SystemWorks, go to Norton Utilities, then  WinDoctor.  That will show you how to remove unwanted programs.  That should also clean up other junk that is cluttering your computer.  You can always contact your computer manufacturer (HP, COMPAQ, DELL) and have them clean it up.  you will need to be on the phone and have your computer in front of you at the same time.  Sony makes good PCs.

Hi,\nHere are steps to run some free programs. I apologize if you already have them. They should find a delete this spyware:\n\nIf you think you already have Spyware/Advertising Ware in your computer, run these as follows:\n\nAdAware at:\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com\nDownload: AdAware_SE V 1.06\n\nSpyBot Search & Destroy V 1.4\nhttp://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html\n\nCWShredder at:\nhttp://www.trendmicro.com/cwshredder/\nClick on the "Remove CoolWeb Search" button to download\n\nAll of  the above programs run better and much faster when run in SafeMode.\n\nTo get into SafeMode:\nRe-boot the computer, and immediately after starting up, Press and hold down, F8, at top of keypad.\nWhen the options show on the screen, use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to select\n"Safe Mode".\nPress Enter\n\nIt's best to run the AdAware scan first; 3 times; then re-boot.\nThen, run the AdAware scan again 3 times. Then, run SpyBot, and then CWShredder.\nRe- Boot.\nReason for running so many times:\nSome of these trojans' files can be deleted the first time; leaving some others; but on re-boot, they re-write the files that were deleted.\nRunning multiple times deletes most of it the first \ntime.\n\nIf you wish to have a great program, after you clean out Spyware/Advertising Ware:\nThis program stops this stuff from getting into the computer in the first place, by placing URL's in the browser, stopping them instantly. One of the Very Best free programs anyone can download! Updates of AntiSpyware Definitions are available on almost a weekly basis.\n\nSpyWare Blaster 3.5\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbupdate.html\n\nFree online scan at:\nhttp://www.trendmicro.com/spyware-scan/\n\nTry the online scan first, then if it doesn't work, try the others. I really like SpyWare Blaster. Since using it, have not had ONE spyware program get past it.\nBest of luck,\nfredg
