I have this horrible little program under the name of VsAdd-in, which apparently got downloaded to my computer when I downloaded a pc wallpaper, now my computer is going crazy, first this morning when I turned on my computer I thought it was broken because I didn't get any of my icons or the task bar. Finally it came in, and second now I get these stupid pop ups. Please help, does anyone know how to remove this file, I already tried to delete it and it won't let me.

Your PC is infected with adware. Use these scans to remove it.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.After you install any of them,make sure you update them to get the full affect.
AVG anti virus/anti spyware remover.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free.

First jot down that all wallpaper add-in downloads are spy ware and viruses except Web shots.
Second download Ad aware (Which probably won't effect that software).
Third run a virus scan (Which still won't effect that program).
4th download a free dedicated uninstaller and uninstall that program and also download a start-up manager that will let you see whats starting with windows and stop the process. If all this fails try a system restore to before your downloading of this crappy software.

If you have a pc, click on start, control panel, add/remove programs, find the name of the program and remove it. You can also turn on your windows pop-up blocker by clicking on tools, internet options, pop-up blocker, turn on pop-up blocker.

virus scan then reboot in safemode and virus scan. also many screen savers and wallpaper manegers have ad's and viruses in them. only trust windows to be sure its virus and ad's free.
