I downloaded some software for my laptop and not only did it not install properly it seemed to bring a nasty little cookie with it called 'whenUsave' Everytime i'm on the intenet it seems to spy on what i'm looking at, open a new internet page with some random web address - poker is a favorite but it can be anything and it even trys to trick me into downloading stuff. Ive tried uninstalling it, norton internet security will find a 'tracing cookie' i fix it then ten minutes later its back again doing exactly what it was doing before. Ive seached my laptop for anything called 'whenU' found some stuff and deleted it but same thing happens every time. I just can't get rid of it and its really upsetting me. I'm even thinking of wipeing my whole laptop and starting again.
Can someone please help before i end up throwing my 4 month old laptop that i could ill afford in the first place out the window!?

Go here:
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/
Download ASquared FREE version - install it - then update and shut down PC -
RESTART PC IN SAFE MODE by TAPPING the F8 key as the PC starts up - SELECT SAFE MODE.
When in safe mode run Asquared USING DEEP SCAN - allow it to do it's thing and then when it finds all the junk - quarantine or remove it.
Then restart PC as normal. See if that gets rid of it -
Other ones available free are Advanced Spyware Remover - www.evonsoft.com
Spybot - www.spybot.com
SuperAntiSpyware - www.superantispyware.com
If you can find it by google searching - AdAware is also free and effective at removing advertising pop up/pop under trackers -

try doing a system restore to a date prior to the issues, sounds to me like you've got some sort of spyware infection, you might try spybot search and destroy or ad aware, whatever it is, it's seemingly reloading via registry key on boot up sequence.

brief answer: loss of priorities foremost to loss of share. women in my great journey often lack those purposes. men could lack lots else yet they're often in my view far extra advantageous at the two those features. thank you for asking.
