Did you mean to say "only the best offers"?

Have you by any chance seen any icons on your desktop/toolbar that look like IE, but upon closer inspection are amusingly spelled "Exsplorer"?

I had this "Only the Best Offers" crap on my computer after the cleaning guy at my previous office decided to look at porn for an hour and a half on my computer one night. I used bleach on everthing. Gross.

Anyhow, Adaware and SpyBot could not rid me of it. I ended up doing this:

1) Go to ad/remove programs, and remove anything that looks wrong. Chances are, teh really bad stuff won't let you remove it.

2) run-> regedit. Then use the search function within regedit to search words you've seen in these popups (look in the title bars). Delete everything you find.

To do this thoroughly takes a REALLY long time. Took me like an hour. If you have an Operating System reinstallation disc, you could also backup everything, format the harddrive and reinstall. I have found this is a good idea every year or so anyhow.
