A little help with Explorer please.

Desco6

I'm not exactly sure where to post this since I am new here but I'll go ahead anyway. Alright, since yesterday whenever I close the Internet Explorer window it makes a beep sound (like the kind you hear when you can't do something or have done something wrong). Anyway I was wondering if there was anyway to get rid of it since it was never doing this before. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks much, I am downloading the Spybot search and destroy program and will use it soon. Also there are a few more problems I have. Well one, it isn't major, but when I got to my hompage, google, I get a toolbar for no reason. I have Hijack This and it stops most but not this one. And when I look at pages sometimes there are links to different places. I don't know if they appear on purpose or not. Any ideas on that as well?

Yes, Use the programs in this order.

You have to use all of them to properly get rid of everything.

Make sure all internet Explorer Pages are closed and not running.

Make sure to update them all.

1.) Lavasoft Adaware 6.0
2.) spybot Search and destroy
3.) CW Shredder

Again, I stress, update them before using them and use them in that order.

Alright got rid of mostly everything. One thing remains. I keep using ad-aware and Wintools keeps popping up and says I can't delete it. Then I try to eliminate the Process Wsup which is what its running off of and it says it can't terminate the process. Anything I can do with that? Currently I have it qarantined and it seems that there are no problems with it but I still feel uneasy about it.

find the service name, and then go...

start-run- type in services.msc

Find the service and disable it.

Did you run CWShredder also?
