^^Those dont work, and neither does the firefox add-on/
Download Malwarebytes and run occasionally. The free version is very good for being free. But the paid version is even nicer.

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

Then go and download combofix, and run that.(instructions are there)
This fixes shit Malware and AVG cant.

If you still have stuff pop up plz post a hijack report here.\

Hope this helps, Death

I had this. Is there a process called Gadcom or something on your comp? I did a full system scan from AVG Free and it deleted all of the stuff. Also did a Ad-Aware sweep just incase.

reinstalling your system works as long as you dont have anything of value on your hd
