    Where can I get spybot? I have so many pop-ups that IE shuts down. When I run Norton full system scan, it only deletes certain at-risk files and tells me that I have to delete the remaining ones manually, but when I locate the file and try to delete it, I get an "Access Denied" error message. Ad-Aware also generates a list of files that it can't delete.

    Maybe I should just reformat??? How do I do that?

    Search for Spy Bot- Seek and Destroy

    Also, try using a trojan hunter if Ad-Aware and Spybot don't work.
