Find and install copies of these free programs: Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Hijackthis. One of them should clear up your problem.

You've obviously been installing warez, dodgy porn downloads or opening up suspicious attachments in your e-mail. You got lucky this time it was just adware and not a virus. Take it as a warning to stay away from that sort of thing and get some decent protection while you are at it.

If you don't already, get Firefox as well, that will help prevent a lot of problems. Make sure you've got the rest of the security standards now, firewall, antivirus, etc.

How did you get rid of the problem, X-dANGEr? Told your brother to stay away from the dangerous and big bad computer?

X-danger, tell spybot to immunize against it. This should stop it. Also find and install Ad-aware SE and run that as well. What one of them can't stop the other usually does.

Make sure you've done an online update for the Spybot Search & Destroy, and the others if you use them, then scan again. If that doesn't work then you'll just have to look for a more spefic fix or just clean house. It is obviously installed in your machine and is repairing itself.

There is no way you got that from a random email. You just don't. You must have downloaded either porn or warez, and my money is on porn.

I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm telling to just stop his brother from having downloading privileges. Even if he puts an e-mail filter up, his brother might still do the same thing again otherwise.

Better he bans his brother from donloading now than we read about him getting murdered in the paper for destroying the PC with adware or viruses.
