Alright, I tried posting for help in the spyware thread, but I guess no one reads it.

I can't get rid of it. I've run every program available in that thread, but certain programs called Search Extender and Shopping Wizard won't go away, and are messing things up. I have tried deleting them from Add/Remove Programs, but they won't delete! And now Adaware won't even work, I have no idea why. My computer is running slow as hell, and I got popups all the time, before switching to Firefox. So, what can I do?

Have you tried SpyBot Search and Destory and LavasoftAdAware together?

You might need to reinstall or reformat then make sure you run the abov programs regularly.

THis happened to me too. Damm Spyware......

Try running Ad=Aware and Spybot in safe mode. That way you get them before they can get a chance to load.
