    I browsed the web and it seems I caught something. I tried removing them but they keep coming back.

    Thanks for the suggestion. That tool did it. Norton was annoying! Their website was a huge help too. Everything was explained except how to remove it.

    I agree with you i dont like norton. It is actually one of the lower quality antivirus products you can get.

    Norton used to give me tons of problems when i had it so i got rid of it. It really made my desktops slow down a lot.

    I will change at the next fresh OS. Did not like what it did today. It was removing this and on reboot it kept coming back. ? :p. In any case, that tool is great for malware. Better than Adware.

    norton 2009 is NOTHING LIKE the old stuff and is a awesome program. but i also recc a free tool by dr web. you can download it from there web site its called clean it and it doesnt even install. you simply download it and run it. it updates once when you first execute it. it is a great tool and removes things very well. also keep smitfraudfix on hand in case.

    Another newbie promoting a roque application, now by reviving an old thread with some BS-post?

    Folks, Spyware Cease is NOT a valid security program, it's ' scareware' that tries to make you pay money for non-existant/bogus 'infections'.
    See my reply in this thread.

    I will ask the mods to keep a sharp eye on other newbie's posting on this POS program.
