I have used adaware and norton antivirus and still can not defeat my problem. This makes internet surfing impossible. Please offer suggestions, I am desperate.

You need two programs (maybe three). The two I recommend are SpyBot Search & Destroy and AdAware.
The can both be found on this page http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/tools_spyware.html
Download, install and update both programs.
Restart your computer and tap the F8 key on your keyboard as the computer begins to start - this will give you the option of starting in Safe Mode - see more about running a computer in Safe Mode here - http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/how_to_start_in_safe_mode.html
Run full system scans with both programs, they should be able to find the problems and remove them.
Restart the computer in "normal mode" and see what happens.
The third program which I find helpful is HiJackThis (for advanced user, the is a powerful tool!) and Windows Defender - which can be found here - http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/tools_spyware.html
. I have used all of these programs on many computers. I have had a 100% success rate on removing spyware/adware and viruses.
I have also found that using MSCONFIG can be very helpful in removing spyware and adware - see more about MSCONFIG here - http://www.vermontpcsolutions.com/how_to_use_msconfig.html
Good Luck!

i recommend using " Windows Defender ". it is free and seems to work well. i have also used adaware but it does not get rid of much. i can't stand nortons. Windows Defender runs every night at a preset time if you want it to. here is a link to get it free. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

Check for spyware. Run both Ad-aware
(http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw... and Skybot
(http://www.safer-networking.org/)...... to remove any spyware. Run both as one
may caught something the other missing. Then go to microsoft.com and download
Defender to protect against future infections. All three programs are free.

You need something beside Adaware if you want to get rid of spyware.

I'd reccommend investing in some anti-virus/spyware software like Norton Anti-Virus.

Get anti spyware software and run scans every few weeks. A great free program is spybot search and destroy.

Always re-install Windows once a year.
