That stuff is n/g man.You need a good spyware program along with your normal antivirus on top of a firewall or two to block it out and never have to worry about it.Don't ever download anything you didn't downoad on purpose,don't click on banner ads unless you know them,Don't open email atatchments and/or strange emails from strangers,don't install activex stuff and be careful with java as it opens the door in alot of cases.Computers aren't safe places to play anymore.You need to be armed with the stuff to protect you.

I would go into control panel/add remove programs/uninstall it .Then install some anti spyware .Look around for a trusted one with a good reputation like spysweeper which has been working for me for years.The one I use is spysweeper with antivirus .It comes with a firewall also.Costs some money and if your not looking to buy anything there are some good free programs that will work.
