2 options...

1) norton Cleansweep...gets rid of all email cache...cookies..

2) and I would do both..

go to www.download.com and get Ad-Ware by lavasoft

install the program and run it...get rid of all spy ware installed on your PC..

or just get the latest version of adaware from here - http://www.lavasoft.de/ - sometimes download.com doesnt list the newest reference files

I think norton/mcafee virus scan will detect them actually...

I think that Ad-Aware is the best for scanning those spyware/adware

people already mentioned adaware. however, it doesnt catch anything. i recommend getting not only adaware, bu Spybot. you can find it on download.com (or just search in google, its easy to find). literally everyone ive talked to who has used both, says that both programs find things the other didnt. use both, and you will probably find everything.

Yep Spybot - Search and Destroy would have to be the most effrective app I have used to get rid of problems like you mentioned.

Url is here - http://security.kolla.de/

norton is more trouble than it's worth. it just starts wreaking havoc on all of your files.
adaware is great. my bro used spybot and he says its good.
