Download and scan with Malwarebytes and/or SUPERAntiSpyware.
Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware are the best anti-spyware applications available (you can have more than one). Other free anti-spyware programs would be Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware, AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido), A-squared, Spyware Terminator and SpywareBlaster.
If you do not have an updated anti-virus program always running, you need to get one. Install only one, but you can get AVG, Avast! or AntiVir for free.
Running virus removal programs in Safe Mode (tap F8 as the computer boots up and choose to boot to safe mode) can be more effective. The idea behind the Safe Mode is that the operating system would only load your essential programs and drivers to the memory and hence there is a “high” chance that the virus-infected file is on the drive but not loaded into memory.
I strongly recommend using Firefox as your primary Web browser, It is safer and beter than Internet Explorer. Get the add-on NoScript for Firefox to prevent click-jacking. The AdBlock Plus extension will allow you to surf virtually ad-free.
Give your answer to this question below!
RUNit – Program Launcher for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT
I would first recommend that you download and install malwarebytes (google it). Update the program. Start your pc in safe mode, by pressing the F8 key while the pc is restarting and select the safe mode option.
Run a full scan on the pc in safe mode.
Look in add remove programs and try and get rid of all toolbars as they are a common entry point for adware / trojans and culprits for monitoring what you are browsing.
