try an anti spy ware program, run it  and let it delete it if possible... a week ago I had  some darn ad ware that invaded my PC... kept giving me pop ups and redirecting my browser... I tried everything to get rid of it  went searching thru every file etc... some of these   things embed themselves so deeply its almost impossible to remove them !  finally I had to to a total system restore... it was the only thing that worked ... so if all else   fails, save all your files to a disc  or floppy , then  do what I did.... it was worth the time it took to re-install everything... my PC is now clean !!

Some adware programs are easy to remove. You can get rid of those by clicking start>control panel>add/remove programs and removing the program from the list there. Provided that you know the name of the adware program.\n\nIf you don't know the name you still have some options left open to you.\n\nFirst thing to do, download and install the the programs listed here. Don't run the scan after you install them.\n\nEwido (link to the download listed below\nhttp://www.ewido.net/en/download/\n\nAdaware SE\nhttp://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html\n\nCrap Cleaner (funny name I know, but it works)\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp\n\nWhen all 3 are installed, restart you computer in safe mode.\nTo do this.... Restart the computer, as soon as the logo screen disappears begin tapping, very quickly, the F8 key on your keyboard. You will eventually you will be taken to the Windows advanced start up options screen. Use the arrow key to select safe mode, press enter. Press enter again. Log on to your account. When your desktop loads you will get a pop up (don't worry windows did this, it's ok.) click yes on the pop up.\n\nNow that you are at  your desktop run Ewido, then run Adaware, then run Crap Cleaner. This should take care of most types of infection. Once the scans complete (which may take several hours) you can restart the computer and uninstall the programs.\n\nYou should now be free of the adware.\n\nRules to remember,\n1. Don't install something just because your at a website and the install screen pops up.\n2. Know what your installing.\n3. Read the TOA, if your installing adware (like Gain) it will tell you that it is "supported by advertising" that means that it will cause ads to pop up on your screen.

those ad ware/spy wares are very difficult to remove !I hate to say this but sometimes you just have to do a total system restore to get rid of them because they hide in your system so well, if  you need advise on how to do it let me know.... I had some ad ware  like that a few weeks back... and tried  like hell to get rid of it,  ran ant virus, ant spam and spy ware removal programs, even spent hours trying to track it down, but no matter what I did it would come back ! so  if you need help let me know,  best wishes!  it sure is a pain to get rid of!

Scan for viruses/adware/spyware in safe mode.\n\nEDIT:\nThat program put something in the regristry that made it keep coming back. You should also scan the registry for thtat.

1. Visit http://www.download.com\n\n2. Download and install Ad-Aware\n\n3. Download and install Spybot Search & Destroy\n\nRun both programs because its never good to have only one. One program will catch things that the other missed.

I suggest you just get Ad-Aware and Spybot.  They clear everything and XoftSpy is also recognized as spyware.
