Hi dljpdx

I would download a program called HijackThis, which I used with
success when the same happened to me.  Or, if you have Windows XP or
another version that allows you to restore your system to an earlier
state, that works too.

Try to run the ad-aware and remove all the adware and try again:

Just click on the download button and you should be good to go.

If this isn't the current version 1.98.2 that I have you can open the
software and clickon the Config button over on the right and then
click
Check for update online.

Good Luck.
