    Hi,

    I got a hell lot of adware on my system last night from one site. I ran ad-aware and it removed aload of files, but I'm still getting pop ups. I'm sure the file responsible is 'Winlow32' as this has never appeared on my task bar before. I need to delete it, but when I search for it, it doesn't show up. Does anyone know where I can locate it, or where it could be hidden?

    Thanks!
