First you can run some type of Anti-Virus/Ad-ware program, and if that does not work in getting rid of the extra goodies, then I suggest you save all the important things on your computer, and reboot your whole system a.s.a.p...before your computer shuts down and you won't be able to log in/start it, or worse. (It happened to me.) Then after you do that, get Norton Anti-Virus (not the best anti-virus program, but it will do) and run that.

I don't know, I tried running Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot, but they did nothing. And I'm too lazy to backup and format and reinstall and all that, it's not worth it. I guess I'll try running an Anti-Virus, that's a good idea.
Thanks a lot for the comment, not a lot of people are willing to help a random stranger =)
