Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.
To reformat your hdd is always the last option.
Disable "System Restore" for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.
Now restart in safe mode.
To get in safe mode Press "F8" upon boot up.
Select "Safe mode with Networking".
Go to Start – Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).
Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.
Go to Start – Run – type iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/ Enter(ok).
Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
**NOTE: Do NOT do anything else with your computer when scanning. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.
When no one of these scanners are showing anything you can reboot back to normal mode.
Turn on "System Restore".
You need to get one antivirus program, one firewall, pop up blocker and some spyware/adware/malware removers if you don't have it.

I had the same problem I downloaded an Ad ware Away programme and it found it straight away, told me to quarantine it which I did but when I turned on my PC the next day it was there again, I tried everything to get rid of it I even sent an email to mbs but did not receive a reply. In the end I was so hacked off I did a complete reformat and that solved the problem. I'm now mbs free. Good luck.

It seems that this 'problem' is affecting a lot of computers.
I've done a quick search and found the following links that will help you get rid of it. Do bear in mind, though, that if you have activated a trial membership to any sites that you need to have cancelled the membership before the trial period has ended.
Anyway, take a look at the following pages and see which one will help you get rid of it.

I've got the same problem. I typed into google 'Free porn' had a look through, the next thing I know I had an MBS icon on my screen.

I think what you have is termed "scamware". It is a form of spyware and a comprehensive anti-spyware program should get rid of it. There are probably also specialist removal tools, which I'm sure a quick google would reveal.

Get this question on here alot. If you look in to my profile, then at my starred question, you'll find a link to a programme called prevex. It works a treat. Good luck with this.
