Answer 2

Ad_Aware SE is a good (free) application to use to get rid of spyware. In any case, you have to get rid of the spyware that is causing the problem in the first place. Secondly, and most important, don't install any application or allow an active-X control to install and run if you not sure what it will do. This is probably how you got it in the first place.

Answer 3

go to download.com and download the program adware se from lavasoft and download spybot search and destory. they are both free. install and run both of these programs and they will find and delete the spyware and you wont have to get it into the recycling bin.

Answer 4

first get rid of the spyware. I'd take spybot search and destroy. it's good. Then you most probably can open up you "recycler"again.
