run a freeware called
"hijack this".

the log it produces will
likely show those references
you mentioned usually at the
very top of the list.

simply check them off and
click on fix.

perhaps, you're right.

but the o.p. has the right
to know about the utility
and has the right to use
it,

regardless of the adverse
opinions people may have
about the o.p.

OPs post indicate being unexperienced.
Giving advices closing the eyes is no help
and is kind of adverse.
If you're a professional and want to help.
Then you should post a result of using
Carlos advice.

if all of you want to insult
people like the o.p.'s

then don't hijack my
thread to do so.

bunch of morons who
can't create their own
threads to spread infectious
comments

are no better themselves.

just shut up.

you're an arrogant s.o.b.
anyways.

also, since you presume
to be highly knowledgeable

then use your smart ass
and create your own threads
instead of hijacking others.
