Normally your malware programs will delete these gremlins.

But in your case download 'A Squared Free' from:

http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free...

Also some toolbar add-ons and pop-ups can be removed from Internet Explorer by opening IE %26gt; Tools %26gt; Internet Options – open the Programs Tab – at the bottom right click on the button ‘Manage add-ons’. Highlight the offending add-on and either delete or disable and click OK.

However, you should be aware that a lot of viruses, spyware %26amp; adware sit in RAM, the registry and System Restore and because of System Restore will return even after deleting or re-booting. Removing can be a little time consuming but thankfully not impossible. Yes there are many web sites offering solutions for the removal of different gremlins but try this first.

Turn off System Restore. This can be achieved by going to ‘Start’ %26gt; ‘My Computer’ %26gt; ‘Properties’ %26gt; Open the ‘System Restore’ tab then enable “Turn off system restore on all drives” %26gt; click apply %26gt; click ok. Now Leave it Off!!!

It is now best to re-boot your computer in Safe Mode – (achieved by pressing F8 continually during boot up) this will prevent the majority of malware from kicking off at this time.

You should now run your (A Squared Free) anti virus and your anti spyware and your anti adware software and delete or quarantine any viruses or spies found.

Re-boot your computer in normal mode and complete another virus check with A Squared Free. If your system is now reported as being clean - don’t forget to turn on System Restore.
