My family's computer got like that, in the end I just gave up, backed up important files and reformatted. In the end the time it takes to do that is a lot better than blowing blood vessels everytime some new goddamn ad pops up!
good luck
Thanx, I think that's the only solution now
Thanx to MetDream for this new sig!

I would suggest doing a virus scan and spyware scan in Safe Mode. If that doesn't work, then give up and re-format.

About Kaspersky, be sure you use the extended bases. Standard bases don't detect adwares, dialers...

This is kinda late in the response department here, but I've found "A-squared" to also be a good malware removal program.

If you happened to create a restore point, then it
might work.
However, some spyware/viruses will infect your system restore points, in which case restoring to a previous state wouldn't solve the problem.
