errr ... you need to be more specific ...\n\n\nTry using and running Adaware. This should find and delete any spyware/adware on your computer. (it's free)\n\nhttp://www.download.com/ad-aware-se-pers...\n\nAlso, get an anti-virus programme on your computer. A very good free one is avg antivirus\n\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/\n\nAlso, to help clean out any unwanted useless files, you can download ccleaner (crap cleaner) - it's also free.\n\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/\n\nI use all three of them, and I think they all work brilliantly, never had any problems with any of them.

Better programs that I have found for spyware and adware removal are Spybot S&D and AdAware. Both are free and remove everything when used together.

Go into the control panel.  There should be, depending on what your control panel is set to, some link to add/remove programs.  Go through that and remove anything you don't want.\n\nAlso, it's probably a good idea to install and run an anti spyware program.  I always like Spybot Search & Destroy:\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/

Scan your PC with these scans to remove the malware on your PC.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!

find where it installs itself, then go to that folder or the place in the registry and delete it (regedit)\n\nI dont recommend it\n\nIt's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Adaware is best for removing spyware.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/security.php

download adaware by searching for it on yahoo... it gets rid of most spyware. You can also try to do a system restore if your pc supports it.

Ok here's what you do:\n\n1)  Download SpyBot Search & Destroy, AdAware, and Spy Sweeper (search on the net, first 2 are free and you can get the third as a trial version)\n2)  Download a personal firewall like ZoneAlarm or Kerio if you don't already have one installed.  Run it.\n3)  Run scans with all 3 of the programs I mentioned first.  This will clear your computer of all the spyware and adware you might have.  \n\nThe firewall will protect you from a good deal of malicious things on the net, but not all.  To ensure your computer stays clean, keep updated versions of SpyBot and AdAware and scan about once a week.  \n\nThis should fix your problems.  Spy Sweeper is a one-time thing, as the trial expires after 30 days, but it can detect a couple of things that SpyBot and AdAware can't.

As these are all spyware or malware related, you might try a free trial of Webroot's SpySweeper.\nhttp://www.webroot.com/\n\nFollowed up with Ewido (free trial) if SpySweeper fails to remove them all.\nhttp://www.ewido.net/\n\nNote: For max effectiveness, scan with Ewido in Safe mode.
