If you have this unwanted guest you probably have others as well. Get a
copy of AdAware from
http://www.lavasoftusa.com, install it, run it and
download the latest updates, then scan your system and clean everything it
finds. When complete, restart the system and scan it again. Keep scanning,
cleaning and restarting until the system tests clean. Some stubborn pests
may require a restart in Safe Mode to clean them if they persist through
several scan/clean cycles.
You may also want to get the CoolWeb Shredder from here since it targets one
specific, often-changing spyware program:
