    There are other threads relating to this problem. In short, download and run Spybot and Ad-aware, with the latest updates And then use a reg cleaner - I use ashampoo - but there are others out there.

    Once you Unzip the File

    Double Click to Run It
    You will get a Warning Message that this is unsafe. Click Yes
    Then Click Ok ( If another Instruction Box Comes Up )
    Then Click the button named "Do a System Scan Only"
