Following these instructions should take care of it. Since it may have installed an ActiveX Control on your system, be sure to check those closely. Clear out your TIF, other temp files and ActiveX Controls. In Internet Options, under the General tab, click the Delete temporary internet files, choose to delete all Offline content. In Settings, set the size of your TIF folder between 5 - 10 MB. Also, under General tab - choose View Objects. In the window that opens, choose View Details on the toolbar. If any of those ActiveX Controls are marked "unknown" or "damaged", remove them. Any and all ActiveX Controls, can be safely removed. They'll be downloaded again as needed. To uninstall, right click and Remove. You may want to keep those by MS, Macromedia or Apple. Also, go to Start - Find - Files or folders - in the named box, type: *.tmp and choose Edit - select all - File - delete. Empty the contents of the C:\Windows\temp folder and C:\temp folder, if you have one. Empty Recycle bin. Download Spybot SnD Close all running programs, install then reboot. Start it and go online and press 'search for updates' tab. (NOTE: if you have problems, select the US or Australian mirror site to download updates from). Download all updates that aren't optional. Close all browser windows and run the scan. When it's finished, 'Check All', and fix everything SpybotSD labels in RED. Reboot. Disable system restore to clear out previous restore points. Then RE-enable it. Disabling System Restore I suggest you install SpywareBlaster, to help prevent further problems. Be sure to check for updates often and after you install it.
