How to get rid of advertisements left as a result of trojan virus's?

[Tony RB]

You have not told us which anti-virus program and/or which anti-spyware program you are running. Please add that information as some anti- programs are not as good as others.

My suggestions:

Free Firewall that is better than Windows own firewall - ZoneAlarm
http://www.zonealarm.com/
Download the free version on this page:
http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/c...wall_b.jsp

Free anti-spyware - Spybot Search and Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/

Install this and it will scan every file (and the Registry) on your computer for spyware and crimeware. This can take over 20 minutes.
If it removes some spyware/crimeware, shut the computer down, restart, and run it again, because some spyware is very good at hiding behind other spyware. Keep running it until it reports no spyware.

Free anti-virus - AVG Free
http://free.avg.com/

Now install this and let it run just like Spybot was running, over and over until it reports no viruses present.

You will have to update Spybot and AVG every day because the virus and crimeware programmers are putting out new stuff every day.

It's a never-ending battle.
