Where there's one, there may be more. No offense, bot CA isn't very highly rated. Try ESet's Nod32. It's only about $40 US and is rated number one. Passes all major virus tests with flying colors. Just remember to update and do a full system scan at least weekly.
To kick the bum(s) out just follow these steps:

1st-Make sure to get all Windows updates DLed and installed.
2nd-Go to BitDefender.com for a free virus scan and cleaning. TrendMicro now charges to clean.
3rd-Download, install, and update Ad-Aware (free). Do a full system scan and delete the crap it finds. Do this weekly.
4th-Download, install, and update SpyBot Search & Destroy (free). Do a full system scan and delete the crap it finds. Do this weekly
5th-download, install and update AVG Anti-spyware.(Both free and paid versions available).Do a full system scan and delete the crap it finds. Do this weekly.


If you dont have a firewall, GET ONE. ZoneAlarm has a free version.


We all hate the 'weekly' stuff but it's necessary in today's net environment. "Get it clean and keep it clean!" should be your motto.

If this doesnt fix the problem, download HiJack This. Go to techsupportforum.com (there are others but this a good, free site) for instructions. DO NOT use HiJack This unless you are extremely knowledgeable about Windows and it's processes. You can seriously Bork your system. Let the pro's direct you.

For a safer, more secure, easier to use, not mention faster browser, try Mozilla FireFox. For an e-mail client try Mozilla Thunderbird.

I hope this helps. Good luck and safe surfing.
