stop looking at crappy **** sites on it :P

download webroot spysweeper http://www.webroot.com/
download crap cleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/
download coolweb shreder 2.14 http://www.addict3d.org/index.php?pa...adfile&ID=1169
download hijack this http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip
restart your computer
while its still restarting keep pressing f8 until you can select starting up in safe mode
run the profile your normaly use not administrator
select it and press enter
run spysweeper
then run coolwebshreder
then run hijack this and check anything that says BHO in it and then click fix
then run crap cleaner

restart go in into your normal profile like you usualy do

see if everythings ok

if everythings not ok open
then go ahead and restart windows normaly

if you still have a problem go into hijack this and get your log and post it up. ill tell you what needs removed and youl have to do the first process over again

hope that helps
