also hijackthis is very good. i use them both(inc ad aware). but you really need antivirus to stop the stuff getting there in the first place. and "spybot search and destroy" is good. \nbe careful, there are lots of fake ad removal tools that infect you more. if any of the above software finds CWS or cool web search, use CWS shredder. its the only thing that'll work. and maybe only download spyware removal tools from www.download.com or somewhere reputable.

Yahoo provides an anti spyware tool and pop up blocker through their toolbar.  \n\nA good free anti virus is AVG which can be found here http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1

Yahoo!   My Yahoo!   Mail     \n  Welcome, pslfloridaprinces...\n[Sign Out, My Account]\n   \n Toolbar Home \n\n \nYahoo! Toolbar Help \nYahoo! Toolbar > Toolbar Help > Pop-Up Blocker Help > \nRelated Links \n·  Yahoo! Help  \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nFurther Reading \n·  More on Yahoo! \n \n \n   Why do I still see pop-ups even though Pop-Up Blocker is enabled? \nSpyware and adware authors are very persistent, making it is almost impossible to block all pop-ups all the time. Blocking pop-ups is an ongoing process, with pop-up authors constantly looking for ways to get around current pop-up blockers, and pop-up blockers finding those new ways and blocking them. If Pop-up Blocker is enabled, you have followed all the steps below, and you are still seeing unwanted pop-ups, web developers may have discovered a new way to get around the current Pop-Up Blocker. \n\nThere are 5 known types of pop-ups that you might still see even with Pop-Up Blocker enabled:\n\n1. Pop-up ads from adware \n\nThis is the most common reason you are still seeing popups, especially ones for adult sites. These may look like this: \n\n\n\nIf you are still seeing pop-ups that look like this, especially ones promoting explicit web sites, most likely some web site or program has installed adware on your system without your knowledge. You can stop these popups by removing these programs from your system. Yahoo! Toolbar 5.5 and higher for Internet Explorer, and Yahoo! Toolbar 0.4b and higher for Mozilla Firefox contain Anti-Spy, a spyware and adware remover. Run Anti-Spy by clicking on the Anti-Spy icon () in the Yahoo! Toolbar and selecting "Run Anti-Spy". \n\nIf you do not have Anti-Spy, install the latest version of Yahoo! Toolbar available at http://toolbar.yahoo.com. For more information about Anti-Spy, please visit the Anti-Spy help page. You can also learn more about spyware and adware by searching on Yahoo! Search. \n\nMost adware and spyware is installed on your computer without your knowledge due to operating a computer on the Internet without any protection from people trying to take over your computer. For more information about protecting your computer online, please visit the Yahoo! Security Center. With proper precautions you can greatly reduce the likelihood of this happening again. \n\n2. JavaScript debugger windows \n\nThese will look something like this: \n\n\n\n\nIf you are seeing Run-Time error windows for JavaScript, click here for help. \n\n3. Windows Messaging service \nThese will look something like this: \n\n\n\n\nIf you are seeing unwanted Windows Messenger pop-ups, click here for instructions on how to stop them. \n4. User-requested popups \n\nOne type of popup we cannot block are user-requested popups. If you click on a link and that link is supposed to open a new window, Pop-Up Blocker has no way of knowing the type of window about to be displayed but has to assume that if you clicked on the link, you wanted the pop-up. A common example of this would be a new mail compose window that might appear after clicking on a link in your web-based email. Pop-Up Blocker cannot block those sorts of pop-ups without breaking many popular web sites. \n\n5. Yahoo! Feature Tips \n\nIf you are seeing a purple and gray panel sliding down from the top of your Internet Explorer window, that is not a popup. It is a Feature Tip provided by the Yahoo! Toolbar. See the Toolbar Help pages for more information on Yahoo! Toolbar Feature Tips, including what they are and how to disable them. \n \n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n \nWas this information useful?  \n   \n   \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nClick to contact Customer Care for further assistance  \n   \n     \n \n\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nCopyright

Click Tools at top of screen, Internet Options, Delete Cookies and Internet Files. You should do this daily before running Spyware Scan on the Yahoo Tool Bar...♦

Some anti-spyware / anti-virus programs will kill 3rd party tool bars. But you should have seen it on the sweep results.\n\nTry this...\n"Right-Click" on your tool bar area.\nDo you see the Yahoo tool bar there as an option?\nMake sure there is a check mark next to it.

Forget about the yahoo spyware.  For spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy is great.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, consider MS Defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nDon't forget to always update the spyware definitions before scanning.\n\nThe best way to prevent spyware is to not go to suspicious websites, open unknown attachments, click on links from spam, etc.  Also, clear your cookies and run your anti-spyware program from time to time.

As much as I like answers, Yahoo tools generally come with spyware and spyware removal tools will disable sections of them. I use a 3rd party client to avoid yahoo chat spyware, and I would never use the Yahoo toolbar.

You should be able to get rid of the toolbar from the add/remove programs menu - you can also select which toolbars your browser loads by clicking "view->toolbars" in the browser window.\n\nAs for spyware, Adaware, Spybot S&D and ewido anti-malware (now AVG anti-spyware) are all good programs.  Use all of them - they each miss a few things, so it's best to team up.

I would start with Virus/Spyware scans. Be sure to update your Virus definitions first. (always a good place to start and quick to do). \n\nAs you didn't mention your OS I will assume you have Windows XP. However, all instructions will still work, just slightly different menu options.\n\nAnother quick attempt to resolve this would be to clear the temporary Internet files and the history cache.\n\n1. Start Internet Explorer. \n2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. \n3. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files, click to select the Delete all offline content check box, and then click OK. \n4. Under History, click Clear History, and then click OK. \n5. Clear the temporary Internet files and the history cache. To do this, click Clear History under History, click Yes, and then click OK. \n6. Restart Internet Explorer. \n\nNext I would move onto toolbars (Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, HotBar, etc.) Sometimes these plugin toolbars don't play nice with each other. They could also be corrupt or just poorly written. I'd remove them all and then reinstall only the ones your want. (sometimes spyware automatically installs toolbars on you)\n\n1. Close all open Internet Explorer windows.\n2. Open the Control Panel (Click on Start, Control Panel or Start, Run and type CONTROL then click OK)\n2. Select Add/Remove Programs\n3. Select a toolbar listed and then click Remove/Uninstall.\n4. Repeat for each toolbar found and then Reboot.\n\n\nThis issue can also occur as a result of a corrupt index.dat file used by Internet Explorer.\n\nTo remove the history folder\n1. Restart the computer. \n2. Use a different account w/admin rights to log on to the computer. \n3. Open Windows Explorer. \n4. Locate the C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;username&#92;Local Settings&#92;History folder for the username you normally use.\n\nAlso - The Local Settings folder is a hidden folder. To view this folder, enable the Show hidden files and folders option in Windows Explorer. To do this, click the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options, click the View tab, enable the Show hidden files and folders option.  \n\n5. Right-click the History folder, and then click Delete. \n6. When you are prompted to confirm the folder removal, click Yes. \n7. Close Windows Explorer. \n8. Restart the computer. \n9. Log on to the computer as you normally do\n10. Start Internet Explorer. \n11. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. \n12. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files, click to select the Delete all offline content check box, and then click OK. \n13. Restart Internet Explorer. \n\nLastly, I would try to scan for any corrupt files. There could be a corrupt dll or one replaced by another program which is being used by Internet Explorer.\n\n1. Click Start, Run, Type "sfc /scannow" (w/out the quotes)\n2. Click on OK and follow the prompts. (you may need your Windows CD for this)\n3. When completed - reboot.\n\nIf this doesn't work there are even more steps you can take. However, one of the above steps should resolve it for you.

Hi there.  I reported that other idiot for abusing you.\n\nWhat I'd suggest is using Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and uninstalling all toolbars first.  This will clean up your browser so you can start again.\n\nThen, depending upon your choice, go to http://toolbar.yahoo.com or http://toolbar.google.com.\n\nHope this helps.
