Anyone know of a program to find and delete such things off your computer? I'm pretty sure I downloaded some the other day on accident and my computer is running terribly slow.

Adaware and SpyBot Search and Destroy - running those 2 will catch just about everything and they both are free. There is also one called HiJack This! this that allows you to directly access your registry (I think), have to be careful with that one because you can s***w your computer up if you delete the wrong stuff.

Yeah it's amazing. I can't believe spyware is legal; I'm not sure why nobody is being prosecuted for it. It's almost as bad as viruses, and a lot easier to track.
